Sonos Sound System

[FCO]

Just recently purchase our new to us 2014 King Aire. The King Aire has an awful Bose Sound System. So I started experimenting with a Sonos Sound System. Which consist of the the following;

1. 1 - Soundbar (Living Room TV)
2. 2 - Play:3 (Master Bedroom)
3. 1 - Play:1 (Bathroom)
4. 2 - Play:3 (Outside)

Since the Sonos System requires a router, we went with the WiFi Ranger Elite FM. Each Sonos speaker has its own amplifier therefore the Sony receiver that came with the coach is not needed. So far the Sonos Systems sounds 100 times better then the Bose System!

This setup will allow us to pump TV (Blu-Ray/Direct TV/Over-the-Air) audio out to all the speakers, as well as music from our music library and stream music from the internet.

I have not finished setting this all up. Has anyone done this or thought about setting up this type of system in their coach? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I am very interested in how this works for you. I want to be able to get true 5.1 output, and the idea of not having to use the poor quality factory speakers appeals to me, as the Sonos is wireless. However....
Sonos does not support DD+ (Netflix uses this) or DTS. Many people have been reporting 1/2 to 2 second dropouts every 30 minutes or so. Apparently the digital audio cable can't handle the bandwidth required, and Sonos seems to be reluctant to upgrade their system to handle an HDMI input. Please let us know how it works for you.
