Hoping someone here may have an answer for me. Have an 07 Bounder on W24 chasis. I am from Ontario and the MH was built in PA. The large numbers on the speedometer are in MPG rather than KM for us here in Canada. Not usually a big problem if I am driving. But can sometimes be a problem when the other half decides he's driving, which is not often. Does anyone here know if Workhorse has an overlay that can be put over the existing speedometer to avoid this problem.

Thanks for the help

There should be an easy push of a few button and the panel can be switched to kilometers. I believe the procedure is in the manual.

Try holding both buttons (trip & mode) down at the same time ..... that should toggle between km/h and mph. (I hope)

Yep...

Here is the info right from the manual.

Change Units, Metric or U.S.

Any time the user is in normal operating mode, the units displayed in the message center can be toggled back and forth from Metric to U.S. by pressing and releasing both the TRIP and MODE buttons.

Pushing the buttons will change the odometer to metric but won't affect the spedo as that is the way it is made. You can get a Garmin 7200 GPS and mount it on the dash and set it to read speed in KM. It works great for me as I can't quite see the top of the spedo anyway due to the stearing wheel. When you travel south you can have the unit read in MPH.
Did you know that the UK is still using MPH - yards and feet?

Thanks for the info everyone.

JCM is right, it's the speedo I'm looking at. The control centre I have done the changing back and forth depending where we are.

I had never thought about the GPS. I do have it on the dash and it is programmed depending where we are. So now when hubby drives I will park the "BIB" right in front of him rather than to the side.

Again, thanks for all the help.

Don't know how we ever managed before these forums.
