TV Volume

We have a 2017 Thor Chateau and the TV volume is not loud enough when going down the road for the kids to watch it. Has anyone ever wired it in to the existing speakers or have another low cost solution?

There is some discussion about this problem in Vegas/Axis.

Three solutions I've seen discussed:

Mounting a soundbar below the TV.

Running a wire from the TV to the Aux input on the dash radio

A bluetooth transmitter that could be connected to the Jensen radio (not sure if this was done or theorized and whether the Chateau has a similar bluetooth Jensen).

which floor plan do you have?
My 31L put the TV speakers in the cabinet behind....so it was even hard to hear when not driving
I mounted an under cabinet sound bar
down sides are
yet one more remote control to deal with
and 120VAC is needed to run it so can't watch TV on 12 volt batteries

Also, I wish I would have bought a little more expensive and nicer model.... i went cheap and I don't like the way the control and configuration work....but it does work and we can hear the TV!

If you have an Auxiliary jack in you radio of Jensen. you could plug in the 3.5mm jack in the Jensen then in the back of your TV.
