Man, I have to say...if you can afford 50k+, your gonna want to put your own stuff in...I am anyway. No matter what they put in at the factory, somebody is gonna be unhappy. Learned this long ago, with coaches that cost 10 times what ours cost. I'm just glad they give us something that works...mine does...but when it all pans out, everyone has their own ideas when it comes to entertainment and I bet the majority of people rarely care what is installed as long as it works. What good is theater sound and all that when you got to be quiet after 10? Not a dig at anyone here but I am glad I'm not spending more money on stuff I'm gonna change out anyway...my entertainment system will reflect my tastes and what is important that is to me. I don't want to be charged for something I'm just gonna take out anyway. I do believe that the basic infrastructure should be there tho...

Most Blu Ray players are not full entertainment systems either. You still will want a radio/cd player I'm sure.
If you can buy the trailer, the $50 Blu Ray player won't kill you either. It will be a $150 option through the manufacturer.Steve- Inventory Manager at Tom Schaeffer's RV, Shoemakersville, PA www.tomschaeffers.com

Yea the electronics go along with the mattresses. Everyone has their own preference of what they want. Why put something expensive in when so many people would take it out anyways.

Yea, I pulled the radio/DVD the 2nd week I had the trailer and put another unit in it along with Blu Ray, sound bar etc. But I didn't buy a $35K car with an 8 track tape player in it just to change it out either.
Just saying...should be an option.Paul, Sue & Wonder Dog Zane

To which my response is "Then if it won't kill me, it won't kill
to include one"
Look, it's a stupid HDMI connector that get's run to the TV HDMI in. And if an owner really wants to get sexy, they can use the digital audio out of the BR/DVD player and run it into the stereo.2016 Grand Design Reflection 313RLTS

Yeah, Im toying with the idea of setting up the Plex server off my laptop with media players at each tv. Only problem is the laptop really won't be powerful enough to render more than 1 stream at a time.
I've tried the Roku at my house using a WiFi connection (both 2g and 5g) and the results were less than satisfactory. I found that I would end up with a lot of buffering. Hardwire would work way better. But in a small trailer where the tv/media box is only 15 ft from the router (and through paper thin walls) the connect should in theory be much more robust than a similar set up at home.
If instead you go with a hardwired HDMI connection, how would you run the HDMI from the central tv/media station to the bedroom tv? I'm not confident that I can fish the wire all the way over there without destroying the paneling.2017 Ford F450 - our kids call her "Big Red"

That's a GREAT question. I've not tried it myself yet, but here's one interesting webpage from the Plex forums:

We're big Roku fans. So much so that we have two of them in the trailer. One in BR one in LR. In the LR I have the 4200 (now called the Roku Ultra). It has a USB port on it, so I plug my 4TB USB pocket drive into it, and it acts as a DLNA server. I have all my video/audio/photos all on the one drive. The Roku plugs directly into TV via HDMI. I've had no performance issues at all with this. For the BR I'll add a 2nd USB pocket drive with duplicate content. For the $97 of a 2nd USB drive it's a no-brainer.

Hmmm.....I have a Roku 2XS, which is an older unit. I am not able to get it to play all my files on my portable HD. In fact it doesn't even see all the containers. I thought it might be an issue with naming so I renamed all the files and still had the problem. Interestingly my old Western Digital Media Player had no issue seeing all the files but it's interface is slow and not appealing. I'm going to need to look at a newer Roku unit. If it indeed sees all the files and can playback MKV/MP4/etc then that would be way easier than setting up a PLEX server.
BTW with the restrictions on noise in the campground I figure we'd get some headphones for watching after 10pm.2017 Ford F450 - our kids call her "Big Red"
