I finally picked up my new-to-me/used 2007 Georgetown 378TSXL that we bought last fall and we're puttzing with it and I need help on two fronts. First - I think I need better sun visors than stock and all I really seem to find is the Carefree of Colorado ones. They seem fine, but as I'm not a wiring wizard, how complicated a task is that and are there any other viable alternatives? Second - I can't seem to get the dash radio to work. It won't power up at all. I checked the main fuse for it and it's fine. There is a seperate 'Radio' switch on the dash I'm supposed to turn on but it does nothing either. If I push it on and push the SVC button on the Clarion unit I still get nothing. Manual says if it doesn't power up, remove the face plate and there's a tiny reset button to push. That doesn't help either. Everything else that's supposed to work of the starter battery works fine except the two map/reading lights (passenger and driver side) and the fuse and bulbs for those are fine also. Am I missing something? Some switch I don't know about hiding someplace?
Thanks
Dave

As for the sun visors, wear a cap !! I'm not kidding or being flip. I have sun visors and find they are always at the wrong angle to be of any use.

My Geo/twn ('04 359ts) had a switch on the top of each light. Also a switch on the dash panel. Whenever I needed answers I called Customer Service - Forest River,Elkhart, Indiana. The contact person was M. Burns. Leave a message and he always returned my call.
Mine was a really good unit.

You need the MCD windshield screens. No more gaps. I recently removed my Carefree shades and replaced them with MCD. MCD Shades - Index
