External Speakers, do you really want them ?

I'd like some outdoor speakers at times but don't know how to go about it. So, on those Bluetooth transmitters, do they transmit thru a trailer's aluminum siding or what? Can I hook the transmitter to the camper CD player? Mostly want to listen to my CD's (at a respectful volume, of course) :)

Last weekend we were exposed to the battle of the outdoor speakers. One guy playing good music, and the other play really old country music. I didnt want to have to listen to either one but both of them battling it out for supremacy was over the top.

The really old country music IS the Good music. ;) IMHO :)

Ditto!!

When we first got the trailer I would set the volume then actually walk away from it to ensure they are not loud enough for everyone around us to hear. Now we know what volume number to keep them at.

:B we did this also. I know our volume and it is contained. I did the walk also :)

They are small and portable so you can place them closer to where you are and keep them at a lower volume. For example, if you are sitting at a picnic table that is 20 feet from the RV.

Double post!

I like our outdoor speakers. I have had no issues with them, except that the morons they hire to build these things don`t know what + and - are for on the speakers or radio! they are not the best quality speakers, but they are just enough for listening to when outside. If they were available on our next RV I would get them.

And I agree that between the water heater and furnace those are louder than the speakers and more annoying!

Wanted them in past and thought about adding to our MH. But, like several replies state, the new wireless Bluetooth speakers seem like a better choice now. A head unit in MH that broadcast Bluetooth would be cool to go with them.

We really enjoy our's, it saves bringing something outside. They were actually on our 'want' list when we bought our current trailer. We essentially don't keep them very loud, we just enjoy some background music during the day when sitting under the awning. When we first got the trailer I would set the volume then actually walk away from it to ensure they are not loud enough for everyone around us to hear. Now we know what volume number to keep them at.

I love my speakers :)

we use them all the time. hubby also turns them on while washing the rv or working around it. We keep ours at a respectful volume also.

We had water on our rv floor one time and the water blew in from the refridgerator vent. yea. it came in from a violent storm that was slanted driving rain. We are on our 5th rv at this time and never had speaker troubles. It is a crapshoot what will 'go wrong' on your rv. some have a specific problem, some never ever have that trouble.

water can get in anywhere. no need to give up your speakers etc.
