Iwasouth, I would appreciate (as I'm sure many of us would), if you posted some pics of the project, as you go. Many thanks.

lwasouth........The vinyl material with the foam padding is available with the foam padding already bonded to the vinyl. Available is several color choices. Consult at auto re-upholstery shop. A good one would have it in stock. Much easier than trying to do the separate foam and vinyl.

The vinyl with the foam back is basicly headliner material. I talked to a marine upolstery shop. They recommended 1/2 inch cloth backed firm open cell padding. It is glued to metal dash and then you glue your vinyl to that. I chose marine reinforced vinyl "color putty" very close to original color. The trouble is you need to purchase 3 yards length by 54 inches wide. You only need 3 yards by about 22" wide. This leaves enough to do another dash that you could sell to another RVer at a bargin. Job is done and looks great with the 1/2" padding
