Try www.northwestrvsupply.com. I checked their site the other day and they had many new dash panels from Monaoco coaches for what seemed like a decent price.

I am a mechanical engineer by profession. My wife says that I modify everything that I buy and she is somewhat correct. So many things now days are very poorly engineered and designed by college grads that have never even used the product that they design. During my career I designed a lot of equipment for large manufacturing plants. My main focus was that the design would perform the task for which it was designed and that it would be as simple as possible to accomplish that task. Simple as for the maintenance and/or function of the equipment. Too bad many so called "engineers" now days do not follow my philosophy for designing products.

Hey it sounds like you know what you are doing on these jobs. Way better than the award winners.. What award.. Why the Golden Screwdriver award.
Awarded annually to the customer who best improves the status of the repair shop's bank account by use of his "Golden Screwdriver" to try and "Improve" things. Thus breaking them to the point of needing expensive repairs.
Nothin adds excitment like something that is none of your business

I received the pics of the proposed dash board for the 06 cross country. The salvage yard is staying to their true form of what I would call overcharging. I was quoted $1500.00 for a dash, which I believe won't include any dash panels. If the dash were in excellent shape I "might" consider the price as long as it included everything.
The dash is pretty scorched from an interior fire and would need to be recovered which I expected. I didn't think it would cost that much and I don't have a shipping quote yet..... My hunt continues. I will post a pic in a few.
