New owner Tracer 2670..question on TV and removing??

[yankeeslover]

Proud new owner of a 2014 Tracer 2670.. .this is my first ever camper...my family and I are very very exited..im sure this is one of many questions I have... this tracer came with a 26 inch tv. I do understand how to lift it out of bracket and hookup outside, what I am confused about is how to get the cord out of that swivel thing? there is hole on top then on side next to the dvd player/radio, but I doubt I can fish it back in there, am I supposed to somehow remove the radio every time I want to get that cord out? and also, I noticed with all my paper work a small tool of some sort, looks like some kind of bendy rachet type tool..any idea what this is? thank you,

I think you'd have to buy a separate cord. I'm only guessing as I've never used my tv outside. The bendy ratchet thing is the tool used to move the slides in manually in case of power loss or mechanical failure.

I'm not sure what the technical term is for it, but You use it with a cordless drill/driver. Its used to tighten/loosen screws that are in hard to reach areas and on angles. Our 2670 came with one too.

That is not correct. It IS meant to be used with a drill/driver, but it is the fitting to manually put the slides in as stated before.

Regardless of me being correct, that is what its designed for! I've got another one just like it in my toolbox that I've had for years.

I guess I misspoke. It's not a matter of being correct, my point was just to let yankeeslover know what Forest River supplied it for.
