Trailer AM radio reception
My FM radio works fine but can't seem to get anything on the AM dial in the trailer. Are the antennas that bad for AM or maybe something is disconnected. Anyone else have bad AM reception?

Assuming your radio is connected to it's antenna, and it probably is if you are getting lots of FM stations since most use the same antenna. The problem may, and probably is, not with your radio but with the other "stuff" in your rig.
Your AC to DC puts out a LOT of radio interference (RFI). Unplug your rig and see if the AM radio is better. Make certain your inverter (if you have one) is off too, they also can generate RFI.
It is possible that the control board on your refer is to blame, but this is less likely.
Also your blower motor on the furnace can generate RFI.
