Many considerations and special care must be taken when integrating an audio video system into a recreational vehicle (RV). The system you select should be right for you and your family. As today manufacturers offer 12 volt standard and marine grade systems, adding indoor/outdoor audio is very easy. Since the majority of RV’s and campgrounds have a 110volt supply, you can integrate home AV equipment with your 12 volt systems.

Video is one of the main components of a good RV system, considering how much time is spent inside your RV due to bad weather, preparing meals, entertaining the kids and for motor homes when you are driving. You can have one central media player device and display its contents in multiple zones, for example you can watch a movie on all TV's or watch different shows on each TV independently. The kids can play games or view their shows in their room and you can listen to music or watch a movie in the living room or in your bedroom. Nowadays with the availability of Marine Grade Flat Panel TV’s, you can have video outside under your awning.

Most trailer parks offer Cable TV for your ...

A typical source for a media player would be a DVD/CD or Blu-ray player. When making your choice, remember that you can play all types of audio and video on a Blu-ray but can’t play Blu-ray on a DVD/CD player. A media server is a compact hard drive unit that allows you to store movies, albums, photos, etc. A media server is a great option, if you already have all of your media on your home computer, just upload to the server and take it with you. The navigation of the media server is similar to an iPod screen and is displayed on the television.

AUDIO SYSTEMS: New RV’s come with a regular stereo system. However, if the sound quality is not there, the addition of a good amplifier and replacement of the stock speakers will resolve this problem. This type of installation requires care and skill, ensure you know what wires go where and do not add extra speakers without powering them correctly. One of the most common upgrades is adding outdoor speakers; make sure you buy marine grade speakers to withstand the elements.
Just like the video system your audio can be sourced. So before you buy, remember most RV parks have rules and quiet time. Hence spending too much money on a killer audio system may be a waste and could have been better utilized to buy another flat panel, media server etc.

Installation is as important as the equipment you choose to buy. When you are looking for an audiovisual installer its wise to get three estimates. In the New York tristate area there are many audiovisual integrators to choose from. When choosing your Audio Video Contractor select the one who keeps your budget in mind and simultaneously gives you maximum value for your money. Find out what is included in the price quote but most importantly go with your gut instincts. See who do you feel is going to treat you right? Who will promptly respond if you have an issue with your audio video system in the middle of the night? Who is attentive to your needs?

Equipped with all the above tips you should be able to select the perfect Audio Video system for your RV.
