The ‘Long Long Trailer’ is a hysterical movie! “Trailer brakes first! Trailer brakes first!”

I’d also like to find out how to play movies via a memory stick (thumb drive?) though the Furrion.

We have about 500 hours of music on a phone, along with about a hundred of our favorite movies.. takes up almost no room in the camper.. ready anytime regardless of weather, connection, etc. I used to stream Pandora a lot, if we had phone signal.

I just bought a Sony home DVD player for my 2018 rPod 180.
I installed it on the shelf in the pantry that I just built and drilled a hole into the cupboard wall and ran the power cable and HDMI cable behind the Furrion stereo and plugged the HDMI cable directly into the TV. From what I understand, HDMI carries both video and audio signals. I haven’t tried it yet to see if it works because I didn’t have power connected to the trailer last weekend when I installed theDVD player. There was a spare 110 socket where the TV plugs in that I used to plug in the DVD player. Hopefully it will be simple matter of selecting the HDMI input on the TV to play the DVD player.
I wish Forest River hand to changed the stereo because I could care less about streaming, but I have an extensive DVD collection.
If someone has tried this already please let me know how it worked out. I thought it would be a hoot to watch my DVD of the Lucile Ball / Desi Arnaz movie ‘The Long along Trailer’ from inside my new trailer!

Yes. They are designed to stream from a phone, ROKU, fire stick, etc.

Larry the 2019 Furrion installed by Forest River no longer has a DVD player.
