[Ernie Ekberg]

Right on the mark with your first paragraph, Bob.

Okay, staying off topic then...

I'm outside enjoying fresh air the other day, watching my new TV, not loudly, and the site next to me is a jeep service convention it seems. Impact wrenches, working on a group of jeeps for hours. Sounded like you were in a car repair facility. It happens, we deal with it, people do their things and that's the nature of "RV parking lot" campgrounds.

When I was younger and we went on a two week camping trip we watched very little TV and was busy doing hikes, 4-wheeling, site seeing, fishing and etc. Seem like there was never enough time to do everything we wanted to do. Now, we snowbird down south for 4 to 5 months and the motorhome becomes our home and not just camper. There just isn't enough to keep us keep busy every day for 150+ days nor would I want to. Just like at home we do spend time watching TVs.
One day while we are snowbird we get little loud and watch outside TV with consume adult beverages...... It's call Super Bowl Sunday.

Nice discovery in that if you use Apple TV (hardware) you can get the audio in AirPods. I'm watching my outdoor TV and using my AirPods so there is no sound coming from the TV to bother anyone AND I can hear the audio much better this way.

I'll probably start a new thread when mods are done outlining how to replace the other tv's inside the coach. 2 of the 3 TV's are in, I had to cancel and reorder due to my engine issue thinking I may not be getting here to Pagosa Springs. Today I removed the rear grills to the front TV and started investigating the level of effort it's going to require. Just like with the original outdoor TV mount Newmar crafted their own, stupidly. The outdoor TV mount was an epic fail, the front TV mount is just a custom setup with a rail width for this TV which does not match the new TV (it's wider). I ordered a slim mount that I'm hoping I can attach to their mount and make it work otherwise as usual per Newmar design creativity is required. Stay tuned...but as usual, it's never easy!

Neal,
How did you remove the wood grills at the back? I tried, but they are glued solid. Afraid they will brake?

 

[Neal]

Newmar silicones them on. They can be hard to remove. I used a 5-in-1 tool.

LOL!!
We have a lot of retired people who own harleys at our resort, apparently "Loud pipes save lives", when they drive by I can't hear the sound on my obnoxious people hating outside television. Lots of mornings I'm outside drinking my kahlua and coffee watching the news on the outside tv at 6am.

I was a Samsung guy as well but the TVs in my coach use a different Samsung operating system than mine at home. It is a huge pain to even force it out of the default “Samsung TV” mode which tempts you with trailers of great shows then wants you to buy or subscribe to stuff you cannot receive do to the wifi or limited cable.

I just wanted to scan for air HD channels and finally got there but once in a while the Samsung genie tries to get me back into Samsung TV. Ill check my next TV for this in the store before I buy and may not get another Samsung.

Great idea, that is the way to go. (My neighbors would hear me laughing out loud not knowing I was listening and think I was crazy! I didn‘t think about the airpod solution. Good suggestion, Neal.
