Crummy RV? Crummy interior? Or crummy pic?



How does the Mrs like it?

Nice RV, Nice Interior, Crummy Pic.

Mrs. likes it a LOT!

Got the AV install started... HD receivers in transit on the brown truck. Need to buy some RJ45 parts and have dad-in-law come out to install connections for IR repeater and composite video send to the outdoor TV on the patio.

Who pulls their entire engine to perform annual maintenance?

I am a bit confuzzled by that as well... but hey...to each their own.

Satellite stuff was there at the lake already, just needed to re-dedicate some of the "cable" runs in the RV and convert them to our needs. Got that done this weekend, so all TV's that came with the thing now get both terrestrial TV and satellite. Reception is fuzzy at the moment, but that will improve with the HD box, as the RF out will not be taxed so hard...

Time for an oil change on the truck. Just gotta yank out that Cummins first!

Bring it Uncle Eddie! Just leave the boat at home, we have no water.

Nolan says thanks to you and Mrs. ET too....

Maybe some day we'll get out that way. You're welcome Nolan.

Phil's RV setup will be way ahead of my in-house system. Geez. You'd think Phil works for an audio technology company or something...

What blows my mind is the way these things come from the RV plants. Most come with DVD players these days, but the DVD player is also driving the built-in surround(?) speakers. If you play a movie, you get surround sound, (if the speakers are actually good enough) but if you are trying to watch a TV show or movie off of the antenna, you cannot go OUT from the TV to any amplification. YOu only get TV sound through the TV speakers.

Limited space too for standard home electronics... Gonna have to get creative on this one...

Exactly what I was thinking

I more than thought, I asked.

Thats odd that the Tv doesnt have an AUDIO OUT on it I did a couple TV's in large boats and ran a set or RCAs from the TV to the AUX on the head-unit.

It is there; cept it is only a 3.5mm headphone out.... Also, no "head unit" but a basic super-cheapie DVD player / receiver. It has an AUX in, but they did not wire it that way; odd to not hav 5-channel hooked up for everything.

I may swap the TV for a SONY I have at home that has true AV out. Then I can take the unit from the camper and install it there at home; the SONY is in the garage driving a dual-stereo installation. The headphone out will likely suffice there.
