Thanks for the reminder, I haven't had our privacy curtains made yet and we leave for our first trip this year, next weekend.

I think he's asking if you still have it hooked up to the cable feed, or is it only hooked to the dvd player.

Actually, it is hooked uop to both. The cable goes to the cable connection on the TV and the DVD player goes to the HDMI connection on the TV. Best of both worlds. The antenna / Cable connection must be switched depending on what is being used. Wink

Confused Additional mods to the 175:
 
- Added 2.5 memory foam cover to bed (had to cut to size).
- 3M hooks in various places.
- Indoor/outdoor thermometer/clock
- hung some pictures
- removed table as it takes up way too much room. Replaced with 2 TV trays that store behind the couch
- TP holder mounted to the inside of the bathroom door.
- paper towel holder.
- hung swing up clothes hanger bar (11 in. called a clothes valet on Amazon) outside bathroom wall over bed. Swing up to get clothes, swing down when you find what your looking for or for travel.
 
I'll be making more mods but I need to take it out first (first time this weekend, weather permitting).
 
Wish List:
-Replace single propane tank tray with a dual holder (if someone has done this, please let me know where to get the parts).
- Install AM/FM/CD radio with indoor and outdoor speakers (switchable).
- 12V tongue jack
