Dometic OEM Board----3850415013
Dino Board replacement.... 3850415.01
Higher quality, better circuit and usually same or lower pricing then OEM

Yep that's what I was thinking too. Looks like the Dinosaur Micro P711 is what I need.
Today it has Dometic 2932881.01 control board.

Electronic board isn't like a wearable item... If the board is still good, I wouldn't replace it. (If it ain't broke, don't fix it.)

I don't agree in this case. Electronic boards do often go bad as they age when exposed to heat and/or vibration. Given that the original board is over 20 years old and has been exposed to heat and vibration, I'd replace it and keep that old board as a spare.

Another vote for keeping the old board as a backup, BUT I am a packrat that keeps a lot things I probably will never use.

Where do you go to actually buy Dinosaur stuff? They don't sell off their web page.

On Dinosaur's home page they list online sales, and it shows 8 there. They show distributors and it lists 13 companies. They are also on Ebay and Amazon.

Yep I found them on Amazon. I'm going to replace the old one with Dinosaur and keep the old one as a spare. That's one of those failure items that can destroy the trip you're on. Most likely time for it to fail is when you're on the road.
