Title: RPM & Hour meter
Post by: JD Law on September 17, 2016, 02:14:28 pm
We have a 1987 Grandvilla first timer in an RV.  PORTLAND Oregon .  The Tach/ Hourmeter has a broken hour meter any online suggestions were to find replacement or repair would be most helpful.  See photos

Thanks

When my gauges started going south, a trucker friend suggested:  ISSPRO.com - Quality Gauges, Tachometers, Speedometers and more! (http://www.isspro.com)    They fit regular dash mounts, and work great!

Thanks Mike!

We are also looking to replace one of the warning lights in the dash has the plastic lens broken.  Updating all to LED would be great.

If you're going to run/update one of these old girls, questions can be easier answered with pics enclosed.  ^.^d

Welcome to the "Foretravel" lifestyle.  You will find find them incomparable to anything else. Ahead of their time in most every way.

  We are located in Yamhill Co just SE of McMinnville. Did you recently buy yours there by chance? I had noticed this one for sale there and now I don't see it any more. It was a real nice coach, and I got a kick out of the sales guy. He went on and on about "how well built" they are.
