I have a 2008 Tioga 30H - we have only used it once however something very odd happened last night...
I was inside the house and out of nowhere the exterior radio turned on totally on it's own! BLASTING GOSPAL MUSIC! No matter what button I push it goes back to that channel and it will not turn off - I have to shut off the auxilary battery to get it off.
Does anybody have advice for me? It's really weird and I'm just glad I was home my neihbors would have freaked!
Thanks!

Might be caused by a remote control for your television or some other appliance. It happened to me, still does if I'm not careful. Punching the right (wrong?) buttons on my television remote will turn on the radio, raise the volume and do other things; the worst is setting the alarm to go off and raising the volume, which turns the radio on loud at unwanted times (middle of the night) and places (quiet campground). Pain in the butt.

I remember reading posts about this in the past but can't recall what the solution was. So you're not the only one. Try a search

Mine has done that a couple of times, but it shut off with the power button. There was a thread about it a couple of months ago. I think it is a problem with the wiring. I can't remember for sure. It sure if spooky when it happens.

I think I'd be examining my life if I was you. If it was rock 'n roll, I'd caulk it up to a remote control somewhere, but Gospel music. That sounds like God is calling.

If your radio is the same as mine, the radio can be detached by pushing the "eject" button, and lift the off the plate. There is a reset button back of radio, or on the plate. Use a pen point to push it. Clean off the metal contacts on radio and plate with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol. Put radio back on plate.

Dirty contacts, and the fact of pushing almost any button to start radio most likely caused radio to start with only a slight vibration. I hate my outside radio.

A sure sign of end times.

I have already seen a sure sign of this. My GF's cat which always hated me now likes me.
