Did not know that button was there.

TV or FM?

I doubt that you've had time to get the required adapter/cable and hook up the Stereo. You'll be amazed at the improvement of the Stereo when using the roof antenna instead of the 4" stub on the side of the Slide Out.

RodeoGeorge, your awning pole kits will probably be the fastest mod you make and you don't even have to unplug the shore power or batteries to do it.

RodeoGeorge, thanks for the radio antenna tip. I spliced on the motorola end Solderless Motorola-Type Plug : Plugs | RadioShack.com on a piece of coax last night, installed it and bazinga almost instant reception.

Hello George,
Have enjoyed reading your very detailed description of all your mods..to my delight, I have accomplished several of these already myself, wish I had your instructions before I got started, would have save a lot of time.
On your cargo compartment, just ordered the LED strips to install in mine, also have installed a single LED Light Fixture with six leds under our entry steps, tied into the LED fixture on the interior steps, when one is on, both are on, kind of like a night light, works well....Also have installed a pale yellow LED strip on top of our kitchen cabinets that is controled by an on/off switch under the wall cabinet...looks nice at night while watching TV...working today on tieing he TV into the RCA Radio/DVD Bar that controls the sub-woofer...The TV currently does not play thru the Sub-woofer..the DVD/FM and CD does, just missing a set of cable on the rear hook-ups...found that out here on the forum..can't wait to be able to have great TV sound..
Just changed out all the exterior running lights with six light LEDS...should be brighter...got some more LEDs that I am mounting under the rear that can be switched on while backing up at night or just turned on for more night lights..The awning LED installation is complete and have been tied into the outside bug light..took everything out of the bug light, installed all the electronics needed for the awning leds...very clean install..
Thanks again for your great instructions on these other mods..

Not really a Mod, but rather an installation. The Mor/ryde Mor Stor power cable storage reel. It tucks neatly in the side of the under storage, and it holds my 5 foot of 6/4 SOOW cable with room to spare.

I carry 50 foot of power cable because the power source at many Rodeos are not close to where I park.

Here's a picture:
