there is no need to have loud tv or radio ,just buy a set of cordless headphones problem solved

I use an old surround sound speaker with a length of speaker wire, and then I can put it in the awning (on low) I have the radio on all day at home and like to have it on on low in the evening while sat chilling with a glass of wine, I always check that it cannot be heard loudly away from the caravan,

Much better than sat in the tin can watching tv like 90% of the site,

(bear in mind they wouldn't hear my radio over the tv anyway!)

Hope this helps Chalkie, I am sorry to read the lack of help people pass on and just use any opportunity to have a go for little reason and jump to conclusions.

Hells bells Skittish are you reading my thread properly. The noise of nature would be louder than my radio at six feet away you say you would put up with it and let it spoil your break. What are you on!!!!!

No problem then...run some earphones on a long wire from the caravan radio (or wireless earphones as suggested) and sit in your awning with them on...and you can have them as loud as you like without the remotest chance of annoying anyone  

We bought pair of small speakers £7 from tesco extension lead from b &q £8 connected to tv, wire through window two speakers on table in awning  works a treat and we do not disturb anyone as we constantly check noise level. been away 2 weeks and people in next van did not know we had music until they joined us for a drink and thought it a brill idea went out next day to get same. as with any kind of noise on site, and there will always be some that someone is irritated by, as long as you are considerate it is your holiday to enjoy your way.

 if i wanted speakers in the awning i would  utilise the rear speaker out on the stereo unit if its not being used  and run the wires into the front locker i would fit a stereo jack plug socket to the end of the leads fit a jack plug to the speaker leads i would then either route the leads underneath and through the gas drop out vent or open the locker lid  to plug in ( make sure the cables don't get pinched  when the lid is closed ) and trail them into the awning , use the front and rear control on the stereo to get the right balance for inside and out and the jobs sorted

Just to put another slant on this I often play my harmonica whilst I am away. I try to play it softly and try not to interfere with people, hubby likes to play his guitar quietly too. We don't like much t.v.and this is our way of relaxing.
