I have not had that problem with the water heater stereo.
On the topic of stereo, mine has an external controller mounted on the outside of the camper. It will do everything except turn the volume DOWN....kind of annoying at times. Anyone else have this problem? I've also notice the stereo itself is kind of junky. Much of the time, when I press a certain button on it, it will do something else. Anyone else try replacing it with a newer model? I'd love to have something that the external control actually fully works.
Isn't the stock stereo a Jensen? If so its pretty much junk and the same can be said for the tiny/laughable Insignia flat screens they put in their haulers. They would be better off just pre-wiring the unit, knocking a few hundred dollars off and letting owners put in their own decent quality A/V equipment. I know when I get my 28SAG (hopefully sometime soon) I will be ripping all that junk out.
I agree that they would be ahead of making the stuff all optional but the pre-wiring standard. Most buyers would not want to install their own, not knowing how, nor want to pay someone else to do it. Those of us that come to forums like here are not the average owner. I bought mine used, but if buying new, would love to have several hundred knocked off to put towards tv's and stereo of my choosing.
My stereo is a Rockford Fosgate. It is above Jensen quality, I'd think. That said, I've owned several decent Jensens in the past. I would love to replace it fully, but not sure what to do about that external control unit. That is Rockford Fosgate specific. I do plan to contact RF to see about replacement.
The tv's are okay, getting the job done. I, personally, would never put 3 tv's in my camper. I don't need one in the bedroom nor the garage, but I can see them being nice at times, so having them pre-wired and not installed would be great. I actually did remove the 32" and the huge box around it from the main room and replace it with a 48" on the only wall that would fit it. I plan to use the bottom of that box to mount it up higher and make an A/V shelf out of it to hold a hard drive, etc for the tv.
