My 2016 Salem 195bh personal upgrades

So far upgraded interior lights to leds.
In the process of installing a boss 7" DVD/cd player with two 300 watt 4 Way boss speakers and a 400 watt amp to power them. 32" vizeo 1080p smart tv on a full motion wall mount. Two front stabilizers and dual propane tanks. I will post pics as I get things done.

I'll be following this. I've got a 2014 model and been meaning to installing a radio/speakers. Thought about doing a radio/DVD combo unit but the TV I installed has built in DVD player.
My trailer did not come with any factory radio.

Mine didn't come with one either. Bare with me it may take a little while to get all things done. I'll be working the next 6 days. I'll post everything as I start and finish.

I've changed all lights to leds on the inside of the trailer and I got a amber colored led for the porch light.

Is that a skylight in shower? Was that factory or did you put in?

Yes it is. I think it's factory. It's a 2016. We bought last month from a dealership here in Utah. I don't know why it shows I'm in Arkansas. Lol.

Did you use anything inside to support the speakers? Or are they just screwed into the wood panel? I was worried that fake would panel wouldn't support their weight when traveling.

I used a few metal clips that came
With them. To keep the screws in place. The speakers are so light. I was surprised when I cut the hole that the material was a thin peace of plywood. I don't think they will rip out. They are actually pretty solid as is.

Attachment or photos didn't work. Would love to see where radio and amp are mounted and wires ran.
