Gordon,
Sorry for all the if's. Our collective experience is that seldom do you buy a coach without problems. People selling their coaches are sometimes under financial stress, health issues and are conflicted, so hopeful speech about the coach is often used. If it got you home without other issues I guess you are doing ok. Many of us are electrically challenged. I had flickering lights on speedometer, turn signals. Turn on headlights, and gas gauge read differently. Many other things had to be set right. How else are you going to get to know the coach? I wonder how many have fully functioning dashes, gauges, instrument lighting, label lighting, telltales in the panel. Less than 5% of coaches, just a guess. Don't know how to fix the cruise control problem, but suggest a trip to the auto wrecking yard to scope out brackets that can be modified. If your other instrument panel lights work fine, just try replacing that bulb on your climate control panel. Many would give their eyeteeth for a functioning climate control panel, notwithstanding the lighting issue.
Enjoy your coach and leave it in better shape for the next owner. Being up north, a galvanized frame would give peace of mind. There hasn't been any real comprehensive rust prevention program for the entire load bearing portion of the frame including the front subframe that I recall. The discussion has been at the level of not coating anything with anything that could give off dangerous fumes if welded. Some squirt ATF before each trip on everything except mufflers and tailpipes or anything else that could get hot. You are in the salt zone, and maybe the P.O. got a rusty coach to begin with, with the rust camouflage in place.
I know you will be getting all these things taken care of in time.
Best,
Carey
