Oh, just shoot me now.

There's nothing like trying to update stuff in an old RV that will just leave you thinking: "why couldn't we just play 8 tracks in the thing already???"

I bought a nice JVC radio for the RV. Cheap (about $65). Now the issue wasn't so much getting it installed it was dealing with the insanity of the knucklehead that installed the 8 track am/fm radio in the first place.

There is a gaggle of white and green wire (I know now that is speaker wire) all over the driver's side floor and each speaker in the van has been rewired to what was the old radio jack.

ALL WRONG. NOTHING WAS WIRED RIGHT. NO MATCHING WIRE COLORS.

The radio is nice enough to tell me the speaker wiring is wrong and it will shut down. WHA!

It's just faster to rip out all the speaker wires and just redo it all with new wire before the trip. Oh, Boy!
