Use the fade control to turn off the outside speakers. All 4 inside speakers are on the front channel and the outside speakers are the rear channel. Fade it all the way to the front and the outside ones go silent then you can enjoy your music without sharing.

Yup. That's how it's done.
It's near impossible to read the Chinese manual that came with it.
Just for kicks, look up that stereo model on Amazon for it's ratings.

Would that be the one that runs about 35 bucks online?

It is around 60 bucks??? And I was charged $165 from the dealer with no outside speakers on thw WC

I am not sure of the brand, but our 2014 1150 had a new style antenna that made a lot of noise when it was windy outside. We don't have a television, so it was an easy decision to remove it and cap the hole. TC is much quieter now.

Curious what you used to cap the hole as I have a temporary fix of duct tape. I never had a chance to use mine either, and never would have used it anyway.



I guess I might use it for a flag pole. Anyone have any suggestions for alterate use?

I have the Jensen omni on my EC850 and agree it it useless.
Can't decide whether to go with a Jack or Winegard, both mean having to cut a hole in roof as I have none now...most reviews put them as equal or Winegard slightly ahead. I might go with lower profile Winegard as I love to hit trees...

I had to swap out my Jensen wall plate amplifier. It was blocking digital signals from the cable and interfering with my air antenna. I bought a winegard 7542 wall plate that works fine now. I also had the Jensen omni directional antenna on a 2014 camplite 8.6 TC.

Must have been defective, as there is no possible way for it to block "digital" signals.
All TV signals are analog, just like regular phone lines. The difference is like regular phone and old "dial-up" internet access. The modem converts the "digital" computer signal to analog.
Digital TV is a digital TV signal, specially modulated (analog) on a TV carrier. Analog TV is an analog TV signal modulated on a TV carrier.

Thanks, It Was Defective. Why else would I change it.

Use the fade control to turn off the outside speakers. All 4 inside speakers are on the front channel and the outside speakers are the rear channel. Fade it all the way to the front and the outside ones go silent then you can enjoy your music without sharing.

I guess calling them digital sells more antennas & I suppose they are made to better pick up the uhf channels. You certainly wouldn't want to call them analog.....LOL

As for the owners manuals, I got some of them but many were missing. I called Northwood & they are going to send me the complete package of manuals (I hope it is complete). I had none for the awning, the control panel with all the buttons, the solar panel, the water pump, the converter & more. I did get a manual for the Kenwood radio but I don't see anything in it to tell me how to turn off the two outside speakers. Hate to use the radio in a public place because I don't suppose folks will want to listen to the music I am playing (even though I listen to the best)....LOL.

Big Rig

We had the Winegard RS-2000 model on our TH. It's interesting they have the fancier RS-3000 now, but it is devoid of specifications.

There is no such thing as a digital antenna. Any good TV antenna will pick up the frequencies of all your channels and the tuner will convert those signals from analog or digital to video and audio. Antenna manufacturers just about disappeared before digital OTA (Over The Air) broadcasts revitalized the market. Many of these manufacturers are still building the same antenna they have built for years but repackaged it. A majority of the digital channels are in the UHF band, so better performing UHF antennas do better at picking up digital broadcasts. Since UHF is broadcast at a higher frequency than VHF, it does not have the same range.

It sounds like you may have already figured out what you have but I was going to say when I bought my Arctic Fox it came with a big bag full of owners manuals for every appliance, gadget, device etc that was installed on the camper from the factory. That should tell you exactly what you have and how to contact who made it. You'll definitely need the one for the stereo if they are still installing Kenwood radio's.
