Ben,

Best price I found was $306.25 here  Silverleaf VMSPC Engine Monitoring on Your Laptop (http://www.rvupgradestore.com/SilverLeaf-VMSPC-p/vmspc.htm)

The unit was actually shipped direct from Silverleaf. 

No relationship to RV Upgrade Store other than being a very satisfied customer.

Michelle,

Do you know offhand if the unit linked to the one that has a native USB interface, or is it one that needs a serial to USB adapter?
Thanks,
Don

Ours came with the USB JIB interface - I did also add that clarification (that I wanted the USB JIB) as a comment on our order.

Hey Ben, you can download the latest software for free from the silverleaf website and play with the gauges/display setup. Once you have the display the way you like it, you can name it and save it. You can save as many versions as you want and then try each one to see which one you like the best. The USB version of the JIB is pretty much bullet proof. You will have to select the ISM engine setting in "Engine type" setting and the USB JIB in the "Communications" setting. Both of these are found under the "Advanced" button.

Have fun.
