Replacement radio for 2008 Ford E-450 chassis
The radio that came with the unit is junk. Looking at the options for replacement though at the local radio shop they all seem to have too many flashing, twirling blinking lights. i am happy with turn...

"If I can't listen to classic vinyl then forget it."
I try to listen to radio a lot here at home out in our workshop. I can hardly find a classical music station anymore (AM or FM) ... they're very rare indeed. What is this world coming too, anyway. :?
The radio Winnebago(?) or Ford(?) put in our 2005 E450 chassis motorhome has two knobs that function for the multiple functions of station selection, volume, bass, treble, balance, and fade. On the front of the radio it's called an "RV Radio".
I have no idea what company made it, but it works fine. It feeds a couple of speakers back in the coach, too, for great sound distribution throughout along with the cab speakers. The volume, balance, and fade controls can get all the speakers playing together for a pretty good facsimile of surround sound.
I plugged a cable into the AUX input on the back of the radio so we can have easy acces for piping other sources, using this radio's controls, into the entire speaker system. For instance, we can watch a movie in the RV and pipe the sound from it throughout the coach.
Winnebago installed a switch on the dash so this radio can be powered from the coach batteries or the engine battery.
