I was able to find the booster button buried in the back of a cabinet. Things are working better now.

The mushroom on the roof is for TV andradio. The booster is the same booster that is for the TV. My trailer was wired wrong behind the booster and it caused TV problems.

Just an update...

Still no radio reception. I've pulled the unit out and it makes no difference if the antenna is plugged into the head unit or not. I'm starting to wonder if there is even an antenna in that mushroom on the roof.

I still haven't been on the roof to troubleshoot the antenna. I guess I'm going to have to do that sometime soon.

I keep seeing reference to a signal "booster" button on the web, but I don't recall seeing one in our camper. Is this on the stereo itself, or would it be elsewhere?

Finally had a chance to look behind the radio... its an AWM968. There is a coax cable splitter behind the radio that I assume also feeds the tv. No luck bypassing the splitter.

Right now we are camped at Mt. Kidd in Alberta. The truck gets radio stations but there is nothing in the camper. :(

We are still under warranty but its a long haul to the stealership.

Guess I will need to troubleshoot more at home where the radio signals are stronger.

Have you checked the connection between the radio and the radio antenna behind the radio? If you have the newer "mushroom" style antenna, the TV and radio antennas are combined inside the unit.

Radio antenna location? Autumn Ridge 265RLS

The few times we've had our Autumn Ridge 265RLS out we've never gotten radio reception. I'm starting to wonder if there is an issue with the antenna.

Before I go climbing up on the roof, does anyone know where about the antenna is mounted?
