I have 'walnut' on my MH. When I was a young man, they were actually made of wood and looked great. Now they are wood effect plastic and usually look very tacky.

Make sure before you apply it that you thoroughly clean the dash with a good decreasing not flash dash or anything as if not it will fall off the first hot day you get ...i fitted one of these to a vw camper a few years back and found half of it stuck face down to the carpet one day :(

I have to echo what tambo said and make sure the dash is VERY clean witha detergent then wipe over with isopropyl to make sure. When I worked in a motorhome dealers I saw lots of badly applied wood effect dash and only a few that had been fixed properly

I used to tape a lolly stick so it clicked against the revolving spokes of my bicycle wheel...

However I was the only one who thought it sounded like a motorbike!

Walnut dashes make the World go round !

Job creation

Someone:
looks for oil
drills for oil
transports the oil
refines the oil
makes the plastic from the oil
designs the dash for the vehicle that hundreds have designed and built
makes the patterns for the 'walnut' dash
cuts out the 'walnut'
sells the 'walnut dash' on ebay that employs hundreds more
pays for the 'walnut' dash by card through the bank that employs 1000's
packs the walnut dash
delivers the walnut dash.....................probably missed a few thousand out

Why not ?

If all that were produced were necessities the world would be a duller place and economies would grind to a halt.

I wouldn't buy a walnut dash or designer clothes but if others want to - Why not?

Got posh sticky silver trim on our dash in the van - we've been conned; it doesn't look like real silver :(

I bought a left hand drive kit from an eBay seller long since and it vastly improved the perceived value of the cab. I paid about £37

Thanks for this, I was imagining someone trying to cover the entire dash with a roll of sticky back plastic :doh:

I couldn't think what difference it would make cleaning first, it would look awful whatever

Just deliberating whether to admit this now....

Oh go on laugh at me if you will ::bigsmile:
