in dash weather radio

My RV came with a Jensen VR187 AM/FM/CD/WX radio installed, with flip out screen for rear view camera. With only 20K miles on the road the radio now only works sporadically, and often has no volume control and the backlight no longer functions. Jensen no longer carries this model, and has no replacement which has weather band. Does anyone know of any manufacturer that makes a system with all of the same features?

Jensen still makes an AM/FM/WB radio but alas no rear view and on that model no CD (it is very small. in fact it's a stick on if I viewed the photo properly)

I would go with a good AM/FM/CD/Camera (no weather band)

And get a good CB/WB (Like the Cobra someone else suggested)

OR: Better yet. A stand alone weather band.. I would look for a DESK TOP model not a pocket (Better antenna) and either power with Inverter or look for a model with a 12 volt wall wart and feed it direct.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

I would check Crutchfield. They have a wide selection of car audio products and outstanding technical support.

Never knew in dash weather was ever a thing.

I have a Cobra something or other that does emergency weather alerts for when I'm in the deep off grid area. Otherwise, my phone receives government alerts, even when it doesn't have enough signal for data.
