Appalling design

Having just bought our first motorhome, a 65 Plate Bessacarr, based on a Fiat Ducato chassis, I find it difficult to believe that Fiat would would have fitted such a difficult to read speedometer.

In daylight, it is extremely difficult to read, and with sunglasses on, nigh on impossible.

It is set set well back into the panel, with an overhanging cowl, shading it from the ambient light,  which,  if you are tall, or have the seat set high, anything around the top of the dial (60mph), cannot be seen, without dipping your head.

An absolutely appalling design, and potentially a driving hazard.

Is it just me, or is it something others have noticed ?. A quick Google search answered that, as I found found numerous complaints about the problem, and that Fiat do not have answer for it. They do apparently have a software mod, that switches on the night time back lighting, when the ignition is switched on, but from what I read, in daylight, its about as much use as a 'chocolate fireguard'.

Owners have had to  install LED lighting, or similar, to front illuminate the speedo for use in daylight. How poor is that!!.

Fiat should hang their head in shame, and if we take to motor homing, and move onto another motor home the Fiat ducato will not be on my 'shopping list'.
