Monaco changed the look of the dash rocker switches on their new coaches (I feel) for the better. They have larger writing (older guys) and the lighted part has a descriptive picture as to it's function. I'm sure many of you have seen the new design.

I replaced all of my old style with the new style. They snap in the same as the old ones. They are just a tad wider and I sanded/dremeled the side of the plastic cover (it can't be seen) to make it a little narrower. I only sanded the ones that are between others.

For me, this was a big improvement in visibility. I had previously changed the exhaust brake switch cover to the new red one. It stands out nicely.

This upgrade is a little pricey. The covers are about $5.00 each.....I had 22.
