Did you scan the channels? Each place you go, you have to scan the channels. Or do you not even get the "snowy thing."

You want to watch TV? Go inside. The rest of us in the CG don't want to listen to your choice of programs! If TV is that important to you, maybe the RV lifestyle isn't what you should be indulging in.

I love our outside tv .....
I've never heard anyone make a statement like this


To the op.
If you only have rca cables the u can only "to my knowledge" watch dvds from the main tv.
My outside tv has a rca jack for ota tv and yellow rca jack to watch dvds from inside .
Weird.

I'm with the others- I think that was pretty harsh. Outdoor TV, like outdoor music, dogs, kids and heck even knocking back a few all come down to one thing: have respect for each other. Be mindful that we all have our own ways and try not to impose on your neighbor.

To the OP- I have no clue about your inquiry, unfortunately. I have cable hookups outside of my camper, I've just never used them.

Wow, a little to hard!
We're here to help each others, i will dare if someone say something about my tv outside when my kids are watching a movie, I KNOW the camping rules and also consider my fellow campers at the campgrouds and I've never complained about dogs barking at 6/7am. People bring dogs, tv's, radios, that's everyone choice.

To the OP, if your tv does not have an antenna conected, (coax cable) maybe that's the problem.

Might be that you need to re-think the RV lifestyle as most folks do have TV's outside now and watch them. We do and keep the volume down. You need to lighten up and enjoy life my friend.

We have fellow campers that don't have the outside entertainment center come over all the time to listen to music or watch TV with us, I think maybe you need to rethink about camping. As for the TV I just auto program every where we go and it works. Hope you get it figured out and enjoy!

Cook inside! We don't want to smell the odor of your food while camping. LOL. Just kidding.

The odor of the cooking is fine, but the odor of Turbs? Negative!

Just what the the heck does your husband cook, sauerkraut or broccoli? I guess if he stinks up the kitchen there is no way you let him use the bathroom. Just kidding.

Girl, I've never met anyone that didn't like the smell of bacon cooking, it's like perfume.
