Outside speakers

[RV Pirate]

Is there a way to make the outside speakers play with the outside TV, or are they radio speakers only? Still finding new connections and settings on all the electronics.

Of course it depends on the model of your MH, but my outdoor speakers are only wired to the radio. I have heard of owners rewiring them to work with the TV or getting a sound bar.

Does the radio have a bluetooth input? You can pick up a simple headphone jack to bluetooth adapter (Amazon) for a quick an easy solution.

Yes, radio in the master bedroom has blue tooth. Guess I'm missing something here but how would adding a blue tooth adapter to the radio tie into the outside TV ?

Add the bluetooth adapter to the headphone jack on the TV and then connect/pair it to the radio in the bedroom and then the sound from the TV should come through the outside speakers rather than the TV speaker.

Can't believe I didn't think of that, thanks guys !!

On ours, the house radio can be set so the input is the front TV, then the sound can be directed to the front, bedroom or outside speakers.

The Gemini appears to have a different radio and setup (cabling) than the Challengers and other models.

It took Thor until model year 2017.5 in the Hurricane to connect the outside TV to the bedroom radio, which powers the outside speakers.

If you go the Bluetooth route, try pairing your phone or similar to the rear stereo first and see if it will reach your phone near the outside TV. I dont know if the BT adapter and phones have the same range, but it is a simple trial. Another option would be an FM transmitter, but that would also have a limited range.

I did a little playing around and found out that if I put the bedroom radio on Aux input 2 and use "B" speakers the outside speakers work with the outside TV. Well, let's say It looks like they should work. I have one speaker that doesn't work with the outside TV , but does work when playing the bedroom radio outside. Guessing either a radio unit problem or a wire is off between the outside TV and bedroom radio. Sure would be nice if the dealer knew the functions of what they sell.

Thanks for this tip!! We have a 2018 Hurricane and we have been grumbling about the poor sound on our outdoor TV. We did ask our dealer during our delivery process if the TV sound would come through the outdoor speakers and he told us no. We did what you suggested here and, ta-da😀, TV sound through the outdoor speakers! Yay! We can't tell you how happy this makes us!
