Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...

Ahhh--the multiple remote challenge... agree not something to take on lightly. We have challenges finding one.
BTW, what did you purchase to replace the analogue tv that came with the unit?
Thanks

The number of remote control devices was not the issue. As I (kept) telling them, it was having to get up and getting in "line of sight" of the converter that was the problem -- I prefer to change channels by pointing the device at the TV itself not some hidden-away box.
Anyway, I simply went to Best Buy and for around $250 bought the same (or looked so) model that had a digital tuner -- it just bolted right up (although, I believe that is universal for all TVs.)
I did some other modifications also. We watch TV sitting in the front seats. The way Roadtrek installed the TV only half of the screen was visible from the Passenger's seat. I purchased heavy-duty drawer slides at Home Depot and installed a slide for the TV:
Oh, no! It seems one cannot attach photos to this type of post. I know what I will do. I will start a thread in the normal manner.
Note also that I moved the thermostat away from the wall -- the outside temperature had too great an effect on it, particularly direct sun in Texas.
