I just bought this 04 TS 40DS03 motorhome. The pioneer, DEH-3800MP, radio in the dash has wonderful sound in the bedroom speakers but I can't figure out how to switch the sound back to the front speakers. How do I do it. Thanks for your help.

Welcome pigeonroost to irv2.
If you can not find some switches on radio maybe the sound is controlled by the Fade Control on radio.
Found this PDF go to page 9 funtion display button explains how to operate speakers.
Enjoy the forums and do post often.

Thanks for the welcome and the information.
I thought I had tried this, but I will go over it again tomorrow.
Maybe I missed something.
Thanks Again

I'm not at our DS04 so I can't try to confirm, But I seem to remember something like. If you have the key in the Ignition. And in the on or ACC position. The radio will come out of the front overhead Speakers. (So you can listen to the radio as you drive down the road) But, when you take the Key out. It will only come out of the Rear/ bedroom speakers. (I have always wondered why they wired it that way.)

Give it a shot and see what happens

I just bought an 04 TS 45DS that was evidently a forclosure unit and owned by the bank. In any case it came to me without a single booklet or pamphlet for operating instructions. Some I am figuring out by testing but I do have a couple of questions. 1. There is a small red rocker switch on the dash next to the power points that lights up when turned on but haven't yet found what nit operates. 2. I have found that the cargo doors have electric locks but can't find the operating switch, did have one door locked shut but managed to get it open again. 3. On the key ring there is a barrel key similar to what was used on one of my other RV,s for the safe. Do these units have on board safes and if so where are they usually? Have taken up enough space for this rambling Thanks in advance for any help.

My 05 Envoy 38DS04 was originally wired with the four main cabin speakers on the front and rear speakers in the bedroom, as "007" indicated. Not really the correct setup for a stereo system so I rewired the main cabin with front and rear and spared the bedroom speakers for now. Good luck.

Roadie, you are exactly right, ignition on or in acc position radio plays thru front speakers, ignition off, plays thru bedroom speakers. Go figure.
Thanks so much.

bpapaone : I have found that the cargo doors have electric locks but can't find the operating switch,

If you have a keyless lock entry, keypad located near entrance door, the cargo doors can be unlocked with your key fob. The solenoid lock operators are controlled by a controller which is usually located inside a wall panel located behind the passenger seat. I hope that this is what you are questioning.

On my 07 pressing the 7 & 9 on the key pad will lock the cargo doors. If the default code was not changed by the previous owner, the last 4 digits of the unit/chassis number followed by a 3 unlocks the entry door and followed by a 5 unlocks the cargo doors. I have to press the keys with a slight pause between each entry. If the code has been changed there is a procedure to reset it by accessing the control unit in the passengers side panel.

Thanks Leroy, but I didn't get a key fob, just an ordinary key. The dealer had to replace lock internals for deadbolt and door handle. Will try key pad hints from others.
