In that case, specifications changed after the video was made. It is also possible that depending on price and supply, either one might be installed.

Cost cutting move, I'm sure. Could you add it?

Agreed. I don't think it would be worth the trouble, especially since the old hole would be a potential source of leaks.



A plate of some sort and generous amounts of lap sealant should take care of that. Since most of our camping is boondocking, the antenna and whatever DVDs we bring along are all we have for video entertainment.

It doesn't bother me too much. If it did, I guess one could order the "base plate" with the LEDs and replace it.

Just watched a video that  couch rv has on the 180 they just received and the control inside does indeed look like a king jack. Perhaps there was a change and the one I saw earlier was a prototype?

Unless they have changed things drastically, the Jensen entertainment center has the capability of playing DVD's. You will need to change the input on the TV so it will show the DVD.

The photos I saw show the same Jensen system in the 2017 as in the 2016.
