I'm new to this "forum" business. I have a 1999 National Tropical that I bought new. It has a F-53 Ford chassis, V-10 gas engine, automatic, and two slides. The reason I joined is to get some help with a non working speedometer. I sent it off a few years back to a "cluster repair" place and they sent it back saying the servo was bad and they could not fix it. I've been relying on GPS for speed ever since. I think I want to replace the whole cluster if necessary. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Welcome to the forum.

You are joining a good group of folks here with good info to share. Read the various threads here, especially the one on Vintage RVs, for lots of ideas and a place to ask questions as well.

Good luck and enjoy the adventure!

When we bought our 99 Dolphin the speedometer was not reading correctly dealer sent it to Ford to repair it.

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!

The GPS is more accurate anyway! Have fun and keep her between the ditches!

Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!
