Actually Dan it's not a bad radio , other than the short that it has. I have to say, they made a good effort because it's a Blaupunt that has a removable face plate and a CD player. Believe me, of all the problems that you could have with buying an RV I'm quite happy with the bad radio because that is an easy fix. I have to say that Trail-lite really did a good job on manufacturing my RV everything works and my wife and I are completely satified with our 225 and with the money I saved over the Chinook I am concidering purchasing a new Vette , I guess that's called having your cake and eating it too!
