Thanks to all who responded.  I realize this is not the best time to be selling aa big expensive toy to the next generation but it's bleeding us and I need to be shed of it.

We had it on RV Trader about 18 months ago & got no (0) responses period.  I had a couple of tire kickers waste my time with tours whom I never heard from again while I had it here in our park with a "For Sale" sign concurrently with the ads and that was it.  I started by giving $700 to some outfit out of Omaha who put ads on multiple sites with the pictures that I supplied without any updates or responses after coming up with what they called a decent price.

Trinidad Dave: How long has RV Arizona had your rig & have you had any offers?
Luther Taylor: Thanks for the heads up on insurance...would you use full coverage or ???
6Wheels: How/where would you look to get a realistic estimate of what your rig is worth?

I am now 76 & don't have the money/energy/patience to make it "like new" and then deal  with the general public; hence my decision to consign. 

Thank you again for your input & suggestions

At least make sure it’s covered if it’s stolen, and damaged. Had a friend had his stole from a consignment lot. Just check with your insurance company as to what you need to do. 

If you decide to sell it at a consignment lot, make sure that it is covered by your insurance policy while they have it. 

I had a similar problem about six weeks ago, no dash at all not even intermittent. 
It was not a grounding problem. 
 It was no ignition feed to field on voltage regulator, installed  new independent field circuit with protection. Good luck, hope this helps. 

Update on RV  : confirmed no ignition feed to field on voltage regulator,installed new independent field circuit with voltage protection. Everything is back to normal. 

This is an update on this. 
Insurance denied our claim said that whatever happened to to wiring couldn’t be  determined. We have not found the problem as of yet. 
So I ordered the Bluefire adapter and installed it in the motorhome. 
IT WORKS GREAT. I have a complete dash now, all the gauges that I want. 
We’ve found someone to work on it but that’s  about a 3hour trip and we could risk driving that  far with no dash. We will take it there when time and money allows. Check out the Bluefire  System. Think you’ll like it. 
 

Just changed mine out, probably the first ignition  change in 21 years. The replacement for it was for a 1972 Chevrolet. Got it at NAPA for about $32. 
Good Luck. 🍀 
 

Update on this. I had a Master ASE Technician come out and check and diagnosis the problem. He checked everything and apparently there is and open connection somewhere in the system. He found fecal matter from what is either from a rat or pack rat. Pack rats are notorious for chewing up wiring. 
We contacted our insurance company and under Comprehensive we are covered. A claim has been filed. The adjuster called and they are going to send someone to check. So we shall see. Thanks to everyone for their input on this it is appreciated. Will let you know the outcome.

Just the tach and speedo or are there more?  Which gauges, specifically, don't work? 

You can use a GPS to check your speed . . . . . there's even some phone apps that will read speed.

Those and the Alternator gauge. Engine temp gauge ready is lower than normal. 

MotorHome parked for 6 weeks at our lake spot. Got ready to leave today and it started right up but those gauges didn’t not work. Drove it home about 40miles had wife drive ahead of me so I could tell my speed. 

Everything else seemed to be okay.

If the alternator is not producing voltage will it affect those gauges. I’m thinking 🤔 it could. 
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. 

I had the same problem, it was a fuel supply problem with mine. 
Changed fuel filters and now use Diesel Kleen and Killezz every fill up.

Awesome, I will be viewing. ❤️🙏🇱🇷

Just an FYI on Insurance. 
If you want to sell your RV and are planning on using a Consignment Company, you know who the big ones are. 
Please make sure that it is covered while waiting for it to be sold. 

Washing the Coach today and found this in the tailpipe, 
so just a word of caution. 

Colaws , Carthage, Missouri, might be able to help.

Good luck. 

Thanks Scotty for a  job well done, you are appreciated. 
Cheers

Watch this, perhaps it will help
Good Luck buddy. 

Check crank positioning and cam shaft position sensors 

mine would do the same thing that fixed it. 
Good Luck. 😉

When paint dried it was a shade darker, I can live w that 😉

Here is the latest try at matching paint, believe this will work. 
Thanks to all for responses. 
Cheers

Had some fiberglass damage which has been repaired and now looking for paint codes for my Diplomat 2002. I looked on the driver seat pedestal the sticker is there but no paint codes. The paint on the bottom of coach is what I need to match. Any help would be appreciated

Mine use to do the same thing, when it shuts down in the shifter pad still lit up?

Took it to Cummins Care in Columbia MO. they replaced the  CAPS”Cummins Accumulator Pump” , it ran great for some time but started doing the same thing  again. Took it to another shop and they replaced the crankshaft positioning sensor and the camshaft positioning sensor. Cummins said if you replace one u must replace both. 
it has ran great since with  problems. 
$1500 CAPS

$500 position sensors parts and labor. 
it should b throwing a code. 

I totally understand, I’m the same way. 
cheers
