I have a 2005 Dutchstar diesel pusher. I replaced the living area TV above the dash and the bedroom TV with nice LEDs. You will get a larger TV screen than you had before in that space but it won't be a perfect fit. Also some of the TV control buttons were on the side of the TV screen. I had a local cabinet maker build the frame and he cut out a space on the frame so I can access the buttons. He matched the frame perfectly with the rest of the woodwork. It looks like it came from the factory. Cost was $300. The new TVs really dress up the coach. By the way, the cost of both TVs was $500 total 2 years ago. Larry T., Minnesota

I have a 2005 Dutchstar (Newmar Corp.) 40' diesel pusher. It has a solar charger on the roof that gives a continuous charge to the chassis battery as needed. It came from the factory with it. I believe it is standard with the coach. It is slick and there is an indicator light on the dash that shows when it is charging. My batteries have never failed me in 10 years. I replaced my first battery after 7 years. You can also buy solar chargers and install on your roof. They aren't very big so I doubt that they cost that much. Larry Tompkins, Minnesota
