I UPGRADED to an RCA in my Montana! It cost me nearly $60.



The factory sound system quit in about 8 minutes. I couldn't believe there was not brand printed on it anywhere and the manual was a photo copy of a typed translated manual. I later found out it was a Qwest 2000 vision something or other. It was too light for a boat anchor, so I tossed it. I didn't tell Montana, or they would have sent me another one.

I figured the RCA was an upgrade because it cost $60 and it had it's name on front. You really would have had to see the older one from the factory to understand.

We went thru 3 RCAs last summer... ever trip out the same crap... played CDs for an hour or so and then started skipping or stopping. Try to watch a movie... forget it. Finally got an LG from our dealer when we took the unit in to be winterized. We will try that out as soon as it stops SNOWING... 2 more inches tonight and freezing rain!

Planning our 1 yr inspection on Apr 10 and then our first outing the end of April.

Our RL came with a RCA. As some have already said, halfway through a movie and it would just stop. Redwood sent me another RCA and as I turned it on it popped and went dead. They then sent me an LG and it has so far worked well.

In the old days RCA was a good product. Remember the old advertising? "The quality goes in before the name goes on".

RCA were bought out by General Electric in 1986 and GE has probably sourced the name out to China like everyone else.

Call your dealer, tell them you want to RTV the RCA unit to Redwood and replace it with an LG.

Russ and Linda , Call Cody Willis there in Canton tell him you have the same units the Stanley's had and he should be able to use my pictures to get you new ones...They replaced our RCA with a Samsung and the Toshiba went out too and they have replaced it with a Samsung also...Haven't got to try them out yet they are still working on the rig other items; mostly waiting on parts. They didn't ask me wha I wanted they just got Samsung .....I have both LG and Samsung appliances at home and both have been very relable. By the way how are you doing? Are you going to the Factory Rally in August...Just thought how cool it would be to take a convoy from Texas....We are going

I had the problem with the door having to be opened to work the remote, the dealer made a mini self and raised it a few inches, now It works through the glass.

We also placed our DVD player (LG) and Dish DVR on a decorative box and both remotes now work with the doors closed.

Thanks to everyone for your response.



We have called Cody at Explorer USA in Cantonand he says we have to send pictures to him and he will get it taken care of. He says he has to get the model and SN from the pics. No problem, can do that.



In answer to your question about the August rally. We are seriously thinking about going. Guess we need to make-up our minds and get reservations. Think it would be fun to get to know other RW RVers.



RollsRoyce, what are you plans to go there. When are you planning on leaving, etc. ???



Thanks



Russ & Linda

John, When you remove the wires be sure to tie them so they can.t fall back behinf or below the unit..Hard to fish out and check your connections for speaker wires so you don;t cross them up.

the guy i had was bill said he was with crossroad but was handeling things for RW. when i removed the RCA sub woofer i had to cut the wires couldn't get them to move in the wall at all. maybe they were stapled to a stud don't know.the LGsub woofer is smaler then the RCA and the speaper is on the opposite side. I had to mount it up side down so the speaker faced out to the door. color code for the wires is nonexistent so when removing make sure you mark them or go play fish hope this helps

Russ, It is a pain to get a good picture of the s/n on the back of the unit....you need a clear picture an be very careful of the connections for the speakers, they aren't very tight and may come loose and fall down behind the unit. Pain the ass to fish out and reinstall the wires. We probably leave that Wednesday morning unlesss we can get Rachel off Tuesday. Maybe we could get up a convoy. Russ they gave us a Samsung replacement and we had to have the tv replaced too. We didn't know we could choose LG or we would have. Others have and have not been turned down. I would order both in LG units.

Thanks or the tip! I think my speaker wires are crossed up already,it sounded funny when it worked. Direct tv guy may have messed it up. We'll figure it out, I hope.
