He has tried everyone from Keystone to the company who they

replacements or support the particular system he has. I've done a lot
of research on it and it has many people who have had the same problem
with it. Only solution is to replace it with a new panel that doesn't
rely on the wireless feature.

Design it, and sell the design.

I suspect that this is such a niche market that it is not worth the
effort to set up a line and build them. It might be an idea for a guy
who wants to run an Ebay business out of his garage but that does not
sound like Richard.
OTOH my neighbor went down to Marco to see the guy who is "Gem boat
lift controllers" and that is exactly who he is. He seems to being
doing OK. Of course there are a lot more boat lifts than that
particular RV.

You are spot on about the niche market. Believe it or not, I thought
about making replacement panels. I searched for some data as to how
many of these wireless systems might be out there and I doubt there are
enough to make the whole process of getting panels silkscreened or
etched, picking out a supplier for decent looking switches and having
the panels punched for them, etc. The system was also used in some
other Keystone models but the panels are totally different. For the
work and investment required, it just wouldn't be worth it.

For my friend, I found some used Cougar panels from years before and
after they tried the fancy wireless system. I'll get one of them and
mount some switches and led indicators on it. The panel isn't the same
physical size, so we'll have to modify the hole in the wall where it mounts.
