The newer pods come with Jensen A/V components which seems like a possible replacement. Even our 19" TV is Jensen.

Recommendation: Junk the worthless little ________ and replace it if you wish, with real components.
The console will support a positionable wall mount and a light weight TV / DVD combo, (15" diag., or so.). The sound will still be somewhat tinny, but better than the all-in-one. Music and radio reception are easy to replace with a decent portable unit that can also entertain in the R-Dome.

We have the audiovox version. The sound stopped working on our winter break trip. Called up audiovox to troubleshoot. No luck getting it to function correctly. I have a tech reference number and an appoinemt with camping world to assess it and get it replaced. Doubt they'll give us better equipment. Thankfully it's still under warranty. Didn't find may options for replacing it with a similar device on amazon. Hope FR can take care of this quickly before spring camping.

I have to agree, we have the 172 that has the Audiovox and it is almost worthless.
Our camper prior to the R-Pod was a T@B and it was equipped with a JVC CD/DVD/Radio and a 19" tv with separate audio speakers and was great, had supper picture great sound from either tv or CD/DVD. I am going to check into that same setup for our KrogPod. Paul |

Yes it is, luckily ours only gets used by our kids when they are winding down at night. Not to mention there are many models on the market which can run from 12 volts....

I like our little Audiovox DVD Player/TV Combo for showing off the camper. Everyone is fooled just as badly as I was into thinking that it's a very clever and practical unit. I don't let on that the viewing experience is pathetic.

In our 178 we just put a TV/DVD combo on the wall by the door and ignore the thing above the bed. 19" TV fits in fine.
I think we will do something with the above the bed box for storage eventually but it does hold the switch box for the Tv amplifier so I don't want to just rip it out.

P & M - - I camped at the Evergreen Sportsman's Club just south of Olympia, WA. I participated in the Washington State Trapshooting Championships
 . Seven days of sun, rain and wind - and my "Podcicle" came thru with flying colors. I was amazed at how cool it stayed inside while it was 90+ outside. The AC almost froze me out after running for only 10 minutes LOLOLOL  I'm thinking of attending the rally down in Oregon in a couple weeks if I can work out my schedule. I'm going down to AZ in Oct to look for meteorites - my main hobby is metal detecting. I look forward to more & more & more camping in my comfy Podcicle. Terry |

We watch almost no TV/DVD's, so we aren't to bothered with the dumb thing.. but I think when I add a storage cabinet at the "foot" end of the bed, I will mount it there.. at least then you will be able to see it from the bed, even if from nowhere else in the pod.

Ours has an Audiovox DVD Player/TV Combo, and it has the same shortcomings.
