Remote For Outside TV

I've looked through the forum and can't seem to find anyone asking the exact same thing I'm wondering, so here goes....

We have a new 369DS and the outside TV seems to have input from either SAT/CATV or the Jensen DVD player/stereo mounted under the tv. I didn't get a remote though. Was I supposed to get a remote? It seems the one TV I will probably use the most and be the furthest away from is the one TV I have to get my fat butt off the chair to control.

Am I missing something? Tell me I'm missing something. Thanks!

Not sure if you are asking about a remote for the TV or the Radio. Either way, you should have gotten a remote for both. My outside TV is the same as my Inside TV's so the same remotes work. there is a separate remote control for the Radio outside.


I believe mine looks like this:

Thanks. I don't think I got either. I can account for remotes for two inside TV's, but not one for the outside (maybe no big deal if the other remotes will work) and not one for the Jensen.

I guess I'll add that to the list of things that need attention - but good to know I'm not crazy. Thanks.

It should have its own remote. Each tv comes with one when they are sent to FR.

Our 2016 369DS came with a remote for both the TV and Radio.

My 328ts has the radio mounted under the TV on the outside of the box. It doesn't have a remote. I found that kinda lame when that is the TV I tend to use most. LOL

If it is a name brand tv, it should be fairly easy to program a cheap universal remote to do the job....

I would think all TV's would have their own remotes along with any "entertainment" style radios. Our Georgetown has three Vizio TV's each with their own remotes and the dash mounted radio/DVD player and the outside mounted radio/DVD player each have their own remotes. I expect someone appropriated one or more of your remotes.

My Georgetown came with all required remotes. Need them too as I sit outside many hours at a time. Hope you find yours or buy a replacement. My word of caution to you is remove those batteries each winter. They can leak and destroy your valuable, high priced tools.

Our 377 had three remotes for three TVs. All three remotes are identical and each will work with any of the TVs. There is another remote for the Orion stereo in the coach. Not sure if the setup is the same as yours.

Yeah, I re-looked. No remote for the outside TV and no remote for the Jensen. Adding that to my list of warranty items...

And then there's this:

Dealer is having to replace the main inside TV - the image was black and white and very grainy when watching a DVD from the front entertainment unit. They checked all the wires and connections (supposedly) and then finally connected a different TV to the AV wires...it worked then. The thought is the AV connection on the main TV is shot. Having to order a new Furrion from the factory. Ugh!!!!
