Dash Cover and floor mats

I bit the bullet and bought a Class A gas motor home. Now I'm trying to find a place that sells dash covers. I have dash covers for all of my other vehicles and find that it has gone a long way to saving the material the dash is made of.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Where to buy/order or even if they are worth the money that it's gonna cost.

    I think of them as seat covers. My parents always put the clear plastic covers from Sears on the seats whenever we got a new car. I couldn't figure out why we always suffered with the hot plastic to preserve the seats for the next owner..:h:h..IMHO, they're a waste of money unless you simply like the looks of them....Dennis

    Wade RV in Tampa, onsite with Lazy Days, does a custom entry carpet and they also do a custom dash carpet. If not close to Florida, they can mail a template to you to cut, return and they will ship you your carpets three weeks later.

    Congratulations on your new MH! I don't have any advice on the dash covers, just wanted to say congrats.

    Thanks so much for the thought. I'm excited to get moving. I've had a 5er for several years but this will be my first motor home.

    When we first got our motor home we noticed that the white dashboard reflected onto the inside of the windshield. Went to Menard's and got a piece of gray carpet. Made a template and cut the carpet with the pattern. It also makes a great place for the cats when we're stopped.

    Go to a floor covering shop and buy a piece of leftover carpet remnant. Besides being cheaper, it is easier to clean when something is spilled on it.:b

    I priced dash covers at Josies and mine would have been over $250.00. So I went to JoAnn fabric and bought a length of dark faux fur. Dark because the reflection of the light colored dash on the window was very distracting when drving. It cost $35.00 and works great to protect the dash and reduce the reflection.
