$80 with free shipping.  Looks like you can only choose white at this price.

We are seriously considering doing a mod with a much larger TV/DVD, which will improve the sound quality. I'll be sure it has a AUX in for my iPod/iPhone. (stereo hopefully). We're not to concerned with FM/AM radio at this time. We also hope to have a DirecTV setup as well for the TV. (we are subscribers and will take one of our home receivers camping). All we need is the portable dish and some cable and a place to put all of this !!  But Im sure we will, somehow.

As far as the "Loud" AC goes, we'll just have to put up with that until we get more information about a quieter unit. No hurry with that.

We will keep all of this stuff "inside" (expect for dish) for our own entertainment during the night or rainy days.

I too believe that respecting ones camping neighbors is of utmost importance.

But Im sure there are times when its appropriate to have outside music going, just not presented in a disturbing manner, like to loud, or adult content.

I much rather sit by a fire, talk, take a hike, or hopefully look at the stars too.

 

HAPPY PODing !!!

 

+1!

 

I like the sound and the speakers are not too big.  They are wireless, but unless you want to run each speaker with 6 "C" batteries, you will need to run power to each speaker...

 

I am camping this weekend and will take and post some pictures...

 

If I change the setting on the XM menu, I can send the signal to the unit's aux output and feed a pair of computer speakers. I've done this while working on projects inside the pod. I thought about permanently adding a pair of powered speakers, not outside but inside the pod. However, when I mention this I get the stinkeye from SWMBO.

 

I'm jealous of you guys with wireless speaker setups. Can I come over and listen?

If anybody knows if they work otherwise, like if I'm missing a setting on the setup menu,

Please let me know.

As backpackers often say: hike your own hike.

Or: to each to their own.

 

 

FM is a great idea, though.

 

I've had this unit for over 2 yrs and it's come to the camp with me, to the beach and now it's coming camping.  Works on batteries or electric... and just where there is an outside plug on the R-Pod is a great location for it.   I'll take a pic this weekend and show u how compact it is... 

 

Gives great sound too!   And I can listen to all the baseball, all the Nascar and etc, etc...  woot!! Oh.. did I mention I love music?

But I haven't pulled the trigger on the purchase.  The nice part is that all you need to do is plug the transmitter unit into the audio out of the audiovox tv, and then you can put the speakers anywhere you want within range. 

 

Be aware that the sound you get is not true stereo - both speakers get a mono combination of the L/R outputs from the source...

 

Edited to add: just bought it.  I'll post and let you all know how I like the setup once I've tried it.

If you want to get more sound you could always set it up with a stereo power amp and some weatherproof speakers to match. You can get some real deals on cables, power amps and speakers on E-bay.

You have just inspired me to do just that to our 171.

 

The only thing I can possibly think of is an outside stereo speaker that can feed from the TV / FM / DVD player... that would be sweet!
