Hello, we just bought a 2017 Thor ACE 27.2. We have had two trailers, an Airstream and a Nash, but we agreed as we age a small Class A would work better for us. My wife doesn't like backing a trailer, but has no problem towing. The hitch gets heavier every year, so we agreed a change was necessary.
We found an ACE with 32,500 miles and in quite good condition. The tires were awful, so we put new ones one and made sure everything was greased properly, so that took care of the vibration in the steering wheel. There are some blemishes, mostly on the outside—there usual decal issues, a broken headlight lens. Inside the wood is in good condition, but needs some scratch repair. The leatherette is except for one place, looking very good.
But—no surprise—neither radio works right. The previous owner must have thrown all the manuals away, but I have been printing them out, one by one. The one for the dashboard radio is as bad as the radio. It only works for radio and rear camera, but cannot get anything else to work. The four front speakers work on the radio, but not TV's.
How do I get the speakers to work for the TV's? The DVD player doesn't take a DVD. I tried the reset, didn't help. If it worked right, would DVD's play here for all TV"s? Is there a replacement that fits in this space and is not this garbage brand (something like Axxella)? The bedroom radio is a Jensen and all it does is tell the wrong time—no buttons work. Is this a replacement radio?
I am not surprised the radios don't work. The Nash IRV radio was garbage too—two failed and other replacement didn't work at all. I can wire in a DVD player through the connections for the Dish receiver and probably that would work, but would like to have functioning radios and speakers.
Thanks in advance for your help.
