RV Radio

I recently purchased a 2003 Monaco Monarch. I want to replace the radio with a AM/FM, CD Sirius XM unit. Has anyone done this or have suggestion?

we've had a Sirius/XM radio in our last and now current MH. in both cases it's on a pay-as-you-go plan. S/XM does not call it a PAYG that but that's essentially what it is. cost is $9.99/month for us as we have S/XM in our Jeep...it may be more if you're not a current subscriber. it will auto renew every month until you tell S/XM to stop.

we're on the road for 3-months at a time, usually spring and fall. when we get ready to go I just activate the radio with the plan (no contract) and have them de-activate the radio when we return. you can activate via the website but it must be deactivated by calling them.

you can put the radio to sleep for several months...I think it's 5-months...for a few bucks but as we're never sure when we'll get outta dodge I just deactivate it. doing that costs me $15 to re-activate but if you put it to sleep it will reactivate on it's own when the clock runs out. if that happens when you're on not on the road you'll be paying for a service you're not using.

if you're full-time you can still get the PAYG service (wish I could remember what S/XM calls that) without a contract.
