Hey guys yet another question. Even with the volume all the way up on my tv, I can barely hear it. Yes I know I'm deaf from the army, however is there a way to hook up the speakers from the radio to the tv so we can all enjoy a movie throughout the coach?

Easy, if your stereo has either a tape player, cd player, aux in or just a plain tuner.  All of these assume your tv has a 3.5mm audio out jack or RCA stereo out jacks. 

If your tv has RCA output then get an adapter that turns your RCA out to 3.5mm female jack.
As in this example:

These are available just about anywhere that sells audio or TV equipment.


If you have just a tuner or radio, or one with no tape and just cd get one of these:

It's an FM transmitter you tune to your radio.


If you have a stereo with a tape player, then one of these will work:

Now the Easiest of easy is if your radio has a 3.5mm aux input, in which case all you need is a 3.5mm male to male extension jack .
As in this example:

These come in a variety of lengths, the link I provided is 12' 3.5mm..


Anyhoo, hope this helps you out..

The other alternative is to get a set of Computer speakers and plug them into the TV speaker jack.  I found a set that even had a sub woofer with it.   I found small 3" square computer speakers and we mounted them under the cabinets where the TV is.  Works well for us.  I put the subwoofer under the dinette seat.

Speaking of FM transmitter, years ago I bought an FM transmitter kit that is supposed to be able to broadcast your own selectable FM signal something like 500 yards.  I never did put that thing together. 

I think I'll dig that kit out,put it together and start my own campground radio station. Hm?
