2016 Axis 24.1 radio static

We own a 2017 Thor Axis 24.1. The radio has never worked right. It very seldom picks up any radio stations - including the one just 13 miles away. All we get is static. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Have you pulled the radio out of the dash to see if the antenna is even connected?

Static in radio

Um - no we have not tried that. The backup mirror works. The CD player works.
But the radio itself very seldom works.
We have wondered if it is maybe just the antenna.

Could possibly be the antenna. The antenna on our 2016 Vegas had weathered and split, almost snapping completely off. I replaced it with one from online and it works a lot better now. I found one that had the swivel head, and while the size wasn't a perfect match, it did force on well enough to work. You can probably order one from a Thor dealer and get the right part, for a few $ more.
