TV Goes off with ignition on
My main tv above the drivers seat goes off when ignition is on.
Why?

Re: TV Goes off with ignition on
The TV is turned off to prevent watching it while driving. So, it is responding normally.

Re: TV Goes off with ignition on
Probably, but I don't know how to do it. My grandchildren watch DVDs on a portable DVD player while we are traveling.

Re: TV Goes off with ignition on
Plug it into another receptacle if you have one in that cabinet. I don't play the TV while traveling, but when I'm building up my air or want to turn the ignition on for some reason, I sometimes want to leave the TV on. Every coach that I have owned, including my existing Tourmaster, would permit you to bypass that safety feature by using another plug.

Re: TV Goes off with ignition on
If I use another receptacle where is that power drawn from when I am driving?

Re: TV Goes off with ignition on
On my Tourmaster the power for the cabinet receptacles comes from either my inverter, generator, or shore power. I have two receptacles in that cabinet. One is wired to shut off when the ignition is turned on and the other is straight through from the power source with the ignition either on or off.

Re: TV Goes off with ignition on
If I use another receptacle then I would need to run the generator while driving.....or buy a convertor for the cigarette lighter to plug into?
Sounds do-able.
Thanks

Re: TV Goes off with ignition on
On my diesel pusher Yellowstone, there is a fuse in the compartment right below the driver that you can pull out and it disables the shutting off of the front TV plug.

Re: TV Goes off with ignition on
do you know what that fuse is labeled as? I wonder if I can't find it because it is labeled as something I don't recognize?

Re: TV Goes off with ignition on
What kind of coach?
On ours, a Tour Master, I removed the 110 outlet and sniped the two smaller wires, not the power wires. There are the wires that send the 12v to the outlet to say to pass power or not pass power.

Re: TV Goes off with ignition on
I have a 2006 gulf stream independance. I have an outlet in the left side storage compartment next to the TV that has the TV plugged into for power. I will pull the face plate off and take a look for a couple of wires and hopefully it is set up like your coach.

Re: TV Goes off with ignition on
I would still have to have the generator running to power the TV while driving - Right?

Not if you have an inverter.

Re: TV Goes off with ignition on
It is against the law for your front television to be on while driving. If a highway patrol sees the television on, he can give you a ticket.
If the kids want to see television, they can go watch it in the bedroom. That will be legal.

Seat belts in the bedroom?

LOL...Not the same coach as mine Ron, but that would have have been a much easier resolve. Maybe I should have looked for one.
