Rockwood Has Irv Radio but Cannot Read Display

Topic: iRV AM-FM iRV 34 radio trouble

---

Posted By: mike-uswest on 08/03/19 04:37pm I have a 2016 Arctic Fox 25Y Travel Trailer that has the iRV AM-FM iRV-34 radio in it and is giving me issues. Almost of the time later it has been sitting for awhile, and sometimes even when we have been using information technology, it will not start with the remote or with the switch on the radio. The switch has a lite on, and so it appears to exist getting power. I found the twenty amp fuse, and if I remove it and put it back in, it gives a lilliputian spark and volition work most of the fourth dimension after. I replaced information technology with a new fuse, and no change. But the switch on the radio always shows power is getting there at all times. I put some Ox-Gard on the fuse, an aluminum wire antioxidant and that didn't aid. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks for the help.

Posted By: Gdetrailer on 08/03/19 04:59pm Accept that $5 piece of junk out, throw information technology on the ground, so crush information technology to a pulp with a sledge, then run over it with a semi tractor, and so hang it, then shoot it, then put it in the trash can where it belonged when new and never look dorsum..

Then supplant information technology with something like this..

Pioneer AVH-210E DVD touch screen car stereo.

Expensive, yes, just it WILL piece of work and keep on working..

Posted By: agesilaus on 08/03/19 05:42pm I have, I suspect, the aforementioned blazon of 2016 AF and the radio has never worked. Nosotros got the AF a few months ago, used. Just apparently expressionless. I haven't searched for the fuse since we just don't utilize a radio that much. And I have a long list of other items to set up or improve.

But merely in case, where is that fuse? In the fuse box or somewhere else? Sooner or after the married woman will notice it and then it will jump up the priority list.

Posted By: BillyBob Jim on 08/03/19 06:23pm I accept read plenty of posts Chill Fox this, Arctic Trick that, Northwood blah apathetic blah.

And then they utilise a $5 piece of junk radio/DVD the same as in a 28' Riverside stick and tin can bunkhouse, that can be had for $15K. Wonderful.

Reminds me of the dainty new Oliver seen at a campground. Looked a little closer. Lippert windows, Lippert jacks, Furrion electronics.

Posted Past: agesilaus on 08/03/xix 06:32pm Well as a relative newbie to Northwood, I'll say that a few things in the unit are poorly done or inexpensive junk. The plumbing had some very questionable decisions fabricated, switching from PEX to braided nylon tubing for ane affair. That made for a number of leaks. They put an electrical junction box in ane cycle well and another under the unit of measurement but exterior the abdomen membrane. And did not h2o seal them. I don't know what the make of the radio is only it doesn't piece of work is all that I can say.

Only for the most part we are very pleased with the unit. Nosotros dragged it over quite a few steep dirt roads and boondocked for 3 days at a time with water and battery life left over and no damage to the unit. Except for some acquired by my stupidity. I'd buy another in a flash. A vast improvement over our former fiver which had non-ending issues.

But merely in example, where is that fuse? In the fuse box or somewhere else? Sooner or subsequently the married woman will notice it and so information technology volition bound up the priority list.

The fuse in mine is in the fuse box, fourth from the bottom.

I never said that they would be WILLING to sell it "cheap" simply it IS made dirt cheap with very poor quality parts and pattern.

All in all a $five portable radio tin out perform whatsoever RV radio always built.

I call up dorsum in the 1980s when my Dad bought his first new RV and the radio in it couldn't pick up more than a couple of radio stations and it drifted badly and after a yr the cassette player ate every tape inserted..

Told him to put a car stereo in and exist washed with it..

My Brother has that RV at present and the stereo still works including the cassette deck..

Equally far as yours goes, the multi speaker matter is easily taken care of, the third speaker is a subwoofer, most car stereos now days already have a subwoofer output, you just need to add together a pocket-sized external amplifier to ability the subwoofer.

As far as Television audio, most car stereos have aux audio inputs and the 1 I posted the pix of does take a built in DVD player then you can watch your movies from it, even with your own Boob tube since most of the DVD indash units will also have a video output connexion (you may need to adapt the composite video to HDMI for most newer TVs but that is too easily fixed via blended to HDMI adapters).

The ONLY downside I know of good quality indash car stereos with DVD do not typically have "surround" sound multichannel decoders but hey, you are camping ground, non trying to recreate a theater.

But hey, do what y'all wish..

All in all a $5 portable radio can out perform any RV radio ever built.

I recollect back in the 1980s when my Dad bought his kickoff new RV and the radio in information technology couldn't choice up more a couple of radio stations and it drifted desperately and after a yr the cassette role player ate every tape inserted..

Told him to put a car stereo in and be done with it..

My Brother has that RV now and the stereo however works including the Ucassette deck..

Every bit far as yours goes, the multi speaker thing is hands taken intendance of, the tertiary speaker is a subwoofer, most car stereos now days already have a subwoofer output, y'all just need to add a small-scale external amplifier to power the subwoofer.

Equally far equally TV audio, most car stereos have aux audio inputs and the ane I posted the pix of does take a built in DVD player then you tin watch your movies from it, even with your own Idiot box since most of the DVD indash units volition likewise take a video output connectedness (y'all may need to adapt the blended video to HDMI for about newer TVs but that is also easily stock-still via composite to HDMI adapters).

The Only downside I know of good quality indash auto stereos with DVD do not typically have "surround" sound multichannel decoders but hey, you are camping, non trying to recreate a theater.

Just hey, do what y'all wish..

Correction: The third speaker pair is for the outside speakers. It is too capable of sub-bass. It has to be turned on. (I tried information technology, but you would need an amp for it to be useful)

Has no one always heard of a uncomplicated device chosen a SPEAKER SWITCH?

Yeah, they DO exist, they do let ane to connect MULTIPLE PAIRS of speakers to ONE stereo source, all without causing impairment to the radio output department..

HERE is a search for them..

Here is a DIY on how to employ a multispeaker switch..

I never though something so elementary would crave a brain surgeon or rocket scientist to figure out how to get around a third speaker pair.. This ain't brain surgery nor are nosotros attempting to launch folks into infinite, only trying to become a actress set of speakers to sound off..

Posted By: Range Maggot Bob on 08/08/xix 03:29pm IRV has excellent customer service. Problem is, their product is a POS. You merely demand to supervene upon it with something a picayune chip better quality.

The exterior speakers' volume and input can be separately controlled. Your switch would not exercise this.
