Anyone know of any salvage yards that have 1996 Monaco Signatures Series motorhomes for parts. Looking for an anolog dash board as per pic. The coach is a 1996 Monaco Signatures Series 40ft that came with a computer dash board. I want to switch to a analog dash board.

Good luck with the modification. 1996 is hardly considered vintage. It is usually 20 to 25 years old to be vintage.

Try Visone RV. They part out RV's. I didn't count, but it looked like they had 50 or 60 salvage rv's for parts.

Thanks guys!! I know 1996 is not that vintage but hey,,,, it kind of is,, LOL,, I did Google salvage RV's before I posted and have sent Terry @ Visone a few pics. I will check the other leads. I thought readership may have some parts laying around also. Ya never know. This coach was my dads (and still is I may add) but it has become my project to bring it back to like new condition. I am getting closer!!

Yep, he will need it. Takes more than a dash to perform that swap, really not worth it. Just repair the old dash.

A friend of mine totaled his 2006 Zephr last week, so while it may not br "vintage"', it's only good for parts now.

You might try Instument sales and service, they have just about every guage known to exist. They make panels for alot of different manufacturers.

I think I am getting closer. The advice is great. We have not scrapped the idea of keeping the old computer dash as I may of led to believe. Just trying out the options. It is project time here in Canada as winter is setting in. I have the main computer in at a service place now and they say it is good but they want to re format the software. Now the problem is getting the software. I contacted Monaco and believe it or not I talked with a fellow there that had worked at the old plant and knew these units. No software but gave me some good tips and advice. Not going to give up on this thing as the coach runs and drives like new. Any help is really appreciated.
