The worst dashboard ever made is beginning to act up again. On this trip I have blown the 5 amp fuse multiple times, any suggestions? Anytime I put in the key, I wonder if it will light up. How come the Blue Oval folks can do it right?

A visit to your local WCC service center should I hope resolve the problem. You may need a replacement cluster so I wouldn't wait too much longer. I know the RSM in your area and he should be able to help you. The first step is to get your MH to a service center.

I guess I'll have to, this is the first vehicle of any type that I have owned that had dashboard problems, and I have owned vehicles for 54 years. I love this MH except for that problem. It looks as though I the dashboard lasts about a year without having gliches...on my way over to an auto store to restock my fuses....

On the return trip to home, the fuse didn't blow one time, I guess it is a gremlin somewhere.

I would look carefully for a wire whth chafed insulation. I'll bet there is nothing wrong with the instrument cluster itself. Look for wires which you or someone else may have added, and look near the steering colume as some owners have had problems with chafed wires in this area.
Perhaps someone has a drawing which shows what this fuse feeds, which would give you a better idear where to look for a potential short.
Good Luck.

Take a look at the wires right above and around your emergency brake pedal.
I had a chaffed wire that was making my instrument cluster go crazy.
The guys at Redlands Truck & RV Center were able to find my problem and repair it.
Hope this info.helps you.
