2011 Monaco Riptide Enterainment System

The other day I had a satellite installed on my rv. I have a few other things I was installing as well. I connected a WII, a Media server, cable box and the dvd system that came with the coach. I noticed after hooking up a av switch that the audio was not working. Turns out the av cables were not plugged in properly on the back of the tv. Which is kind of a bear to get off the wall ( you have to remove the 5 screws that attach the wood panel, and that gives you the access.). I also noticed that there were 4 EXTRA coxial cables once I removed the winegard switch. Turns out all the coax was mislabeled. The one labeled patio actually ran both the patio and bedroom tv. So I split the signal coming off the satellite box and ran it to both tvs. I can control the tv in the back with an ir remote extender. To get the box in surround I used the optic out and put it on the back of the dvd theater. The switch is fed directly to the tv and runs all the other equipment. In other words every thing works perfectly and there is less wire mess. Oh and one more thing, I bought 2 5"fans at walmart for 6 bucks each to help move the air around the electronics. Next week I will remove the glass and replace it with wire mesh. Just thought I'd share.

P.S. I used the Jenson cable for the radio, since I didnt need it for local channels.
