Stumbled onto these last week
http://www.ebay.com/bhp/murphy-gauge
Seems like they would work for our purposes......sound an alarm/put on warning light if gauge goes higher/lower than preset level.

No Coach yet but likely center kitchen, dry side bath Royale, 78, 403, hopefully with good original white Imron paint.

Peter, you might look into Digi Panel, it is simple to hook up and comes
with alarm for 4 sensors and have been around for over 10 years.

Advantage=Digi panel is available or built now. Pi is extremely interesting. Inexpensive and works. Software could be written to use the OEM sensors.
Ardunio could also do the job.

What it boils down to is convenience. There's a box (DigiPanel) which works and has a history. For the customizers, it's about the same price for a
set of alarmed gauges, plus your time to install. You >could< remote the Digi readouts as someone (Ken?) suggested if you wanted... it would be a
major PIA because you'll need ribbon cable for each and some sort of mount. And you'll have four antennae taking electrical noise back into the box.
I find the value in the audible alarm. The one I put in the 23' wasn't visible from driving position, but you could easily hear it squawk. The one I
have for the 26' will probably be the same.

I've had the Digi Panel from Applied since 2003. The alarm feature with LED gauges have saved my engine twice with a coolant issue. Standard gauges are fine. BUT can't get your attention to let you know of a problem. Some say that they watch their gauges all the time. I see that as GOOD LUCK. I want to enjoy the sites, and problems on the road. I'll let the panel monitor my engine. All you need to do is not look at your gauges for under 3 minutes. And YOU can loose a very expensive engine. Then loose a vacation, and end up having your GMC on a hook. And you in a motel. Three night there can cost you almost $300. I think the panel is $290. Cheep insurance for saving you engine, and a vacation. 78 GMC's have a coolant monitoring system in the dash if the coolant gets low. I'll still take the panel. Bob Dunahugh 78 Royale
I have had my Digipanel since 2000. In 2003, I was going from Sacramento
to Reno, over Donner Summit. About half way up, the alarm came on for hot
radiator water. I pulled over and we had steam boiling out from under the
coach. Turns out, my old upper radiator hose had sagged enough for the fan
belt to cut the hose and loss of radiator water. The low radiator light on
my GMC apparently did not work. In 2005, I was going from Boise to the
Oregon coast. On a 16 mile straight stretch, tooling along at 70 mph, I
saw steam just rolling out from under the coach. I pulled over just as the
Digipanel alarm went off. In this case, the Digipanel did not sound soon
enough as I had a radiator leak and I ended up with a warped head. This
lead me to getting a Paterson rebuilt 403. My low radiator alarm still
does not work and I should get around to fixing it one of these days. In
2015, I put a Digipanel in my daughters coach; I mounted both Digipanels on
top of the dash board, centered with the steering wheel. At this location,
I can see it easily and it does not interfere with our view of the road.

note: about May 18th, give or take a day or two, I will be driving a 78
Royale to Emmett, Idaho, to deliver it to some friends who bought it from a
local friend here in NC. My route will be Interstate 40 to Nashville, then
24 to Paducah, KY, then to St Louis, east on 70 to Limon, CO, then 24 thru
Colorado Springs to Buena Vista, CO, to visit a high school friend, then 50
back to 70 and into Utah, then 15 north till I pick up 84, then east to
Boise and onto Emmett.

We hear so many stories where the Digi Panels has saved engine.
