The issue is that when the key is turned to the on position, or the engine is running, power to the outlet where the dvd player is disconnected. This is because the dvd is connected to an outlet called a PowerTek Lock Out Relay which disconnects power to the outlet when the engine is running. The tv is connected to a separate 12 volt outlet, and is not affected, however, loses any signal. This is designed to comply with vehicle codes which state that a working television must not be in direct view of the driver. I don't know why Fleetwood did this, since the tv is above and behind the cab over the driver's head (Class C) and cannot be seen by the driver. I read up on a cure that will bypass this bypass and allow my passengers to watch tv from the dvd player while I am driving. Problem solved.
