replacing dash radio in an 05 Newmar W24

I am in the process of trying to figure out how to change out the old Jenson unit for a Pioneer 2 din unit. the new unit is 4 inches thick while the old unit was 3 5/8 inches so i must need a new sleeve to slide the new unit into. Has anyone done this with success as i am having trouble getting info. I know a specific car model would be easy but a motor home has no references. at the moment i am tuneless

    Siggy

    Ditto on mine, however the factory unit was a 1.5 DIN, so I had to cut the dash slightly, but nothing too difficult.

    Go to the mfg and see if they have any matching plastic fitter kits. Sometimes they have spacers available.

    Virtually any double-DIN radio should work out without any great difficulty if you already have a double-DIN unit. I think they generally come with the mounting sleeve they slide into.

    Crutchfield.com should have a section on RVs. If they don't a call to their excellent online help might be useful.
