No AM radio antenna 2017 Salem RKSS

[huskylover]

Anyone agree with this. Bought new 2017 Salem 2017 RKSS spring 2017.
Went on first camping trip in May, 2017. Setup, got the chairs and soda/beer out to sit out and listen to the Brewers baseball game on the two outside speakers. No reception, could not tune in game on built in AM/FM radio.
Contacted Forest River and was told that I have no AM antenna on my trailer. Does that sound right for a $30000 MSRP travel trailer? This sounds like Forest River cuts corners a bit too far.

That stinks. I haven't tried AM Radio, but when I did try FM on my 32bhds I couldn't pull,in any stations at all. Then I realized that maybe the antenna was connected to the TV Antenna. After I raised the TV Antenna I started to here stations.
Not sure if you tried that or not, but it's worth a try.

We have a 2018 RKSS. Our antenna doesn't raise but we have to turn on the amplifier to get reception for FM and AM radio. There is a button on the wall plate where you hook coax cable to. When pushed in a green lite beside it comes on. Without it on we could only get a couple really close radio stations. Once on we could get the same stations we received in the truck.

My radio is connected to the Winegard antenna as well.
