I'd like to continue the parts identification that I started on the "official" Gulf Stream site. Gulf Stream has removed all traces of any of those discussions.
Today I found the CB antenna lead. It's hidden behind the black panel down by the driver's left foot. Of course there is less than a foot of wire available. The assemblers left the additional 2 foot or more of surplus behind the windshield panel going up to the antenna itself. It is impossible to pull this surplus through because it's been excessively gunked up with sealant in the engine compartment! I guess I could locate the CB down under the dash (I MEAN underneith the dash, out of sight!) & keep the volume up really loud! -sigh, what's the matter with those people?
I've been asking GS customer service for weeks for the location of the Intellictec IRD control box. The relay is in the DC compartment just behind the driver's side front wheel, but where IS the control box, I asked? Well, I found it on my own... It also is located down & behind that driver's left-foot panel. It's not mounted, just all wrapped up in the wire harness. No wonder GS didn't want to tell us where it was located. What a wiring mess. -sigh, what's the matter with those people?
I've been asking GS customer service for weeks for the identity of the manufacturer of the AVS-100 box in the DVD/VCR/FM cabinet. Who made it, how it works, why it's there? Well, while snooping behind that now infamous panel by my left foot, I took a closer look at a flat, firewall-mounted box way under the dash.... (assumed it was a computer module for the WorkHorse) Nope, it was labeled River Park Co. "HT Switching System" P/N 6CHXOV-01, with an invitation to visit their website at HTTP://www.riverparkinc.com for more information. River Park is the manufacturer of the "Smart Source AVS100 Video Switcher". They have a wiring diagram download of the "supposed" complete AV system used in our coaches. It appears that there is a possibility it is not exactly what Gulf Stream provided however... More investigation required.
Also, River Park didn't include the wiring diagram of their HT Switching System box online, though the box does apparently switch the audio source to the speakers between the Sony Home Theater system and the chassis CD/Cassette/FM/AM radio. I have emailed their tech service asking for more product info on the 6CHXOV-01. Now, if you experience speaker problems (scratchy, breaking up, muted), you know where to look for the potential cause.
That's enough for now. I'm really bummed about the short, useless CB antenna wire. Don't forget to check in with the "official" site to see if anything is happening with the rallies.
