We purchased a "New to Us" 2005 Itasca Horizon 36RD. the original owner changed out the OEM radio for a Pioneer Radio/GPS combination.
I would like to know where to find an original Winnebago radio with the weather band. Someone must know of one somewhere that was changed out.

I would leave that radio in there. The original radio (I still have it) does not provide very good sound quality. So you are probably better off with the Pioneer. A portable SAME emergency radio will get you the weather bands back and will trigger when there is a problem near you, which the original radio also will not do.

I have the radio you describe in my 2005, 40 foot AD and I consider it junk. As stated above you are better off with the replacement.

If you plan on any caravaning with WIT or friends you would be better off investing in a CB with weather bands.
