Hi

I fitted one in our pathfinder, cd player went under the draining board with plugs for power speakers and arial and the speakers were fitted under the seats.Fitted arial behind cupboard. Works great. Just remember to only connect the ignition live and not the permanet live or you will drain your battery if you have no charger.

I'll probably upset a few people by saying this but I'm sure you won't want to disturb other campers nearby - perhaps you might fit a headphone socket while you're at it.

I was worried about that but found that when the camper is zipped up it can't be heard outside until you are very close (as on the actual pitch!)  Who knew that cavas would provide decent sound insulation!   Actually and keeping the sound down of course.  Maybe if you were sitting outside trying to play music loud enough to hear there you would be too loud though.

I had the same concern about disturbing people when I was running my iPod amp in the camper. I found the same, with it at a good level for me you couldn't here it outside. I did think it was worth a quick walk outside to check though.

Thank you andcow and glen_p for being so careful. I just wish everyone (including caravans and motorhomes with windows open) were as considerate.
