Handover means I don't know what this is for.

Hi Guy's when we picked up our new MH we had a very short handover. This means there are a number of bits and bats of our MH that we don't fully understand. For example right next to where our T/V is we have a black wire with a jack on the end thats marked T/V (see picture). What is it for does anyone know.

    my guess would be that your m/h is pre owned,this cable has been added by the previous owner and could connect a ipod type music player to the sound system...pure gueswork,but would explain lack of knowledge by the "handover" person.

    Or a direct 12volt feed for the TV ??

    It looks like a stereo audio jack. My guess would be the same as Navigateur. To plug into the headphone socket of a TV  to feed the sound through the MH built in speakers. Could also take the output from a phone or ipad or ipod for the same purpose. Does your handbook not explain the connection?

    Sorry I should have added that our MH is brand new, our handover was so short because of a bad accident that shut the access road to the dealers for 3 hours. So our HO was supposed to start at 2pm didn't start until 4:50pm & the dealers closed at 5:15pm.

    Hi Cherokee it says "front TV" we got the exact same cable on the bedroom TV which says "rear TV"

    Thanks

    Which makes me think it IS a direct 12v supply.

    Presuming you only have speakers in the front, if its an audio lead, why have the rear tv playing through the front speakers???

    Some sensible speculation here; but why not call the dealer and ask!  Maybe a second 'handover' with more time would be the best solution.

    If I'd have paid x thousands of pounds for a new MH, under the circumstances, I'd expect the least the dealer could have done was stay open longer to do the handover.

    That's poor customer service in my book.

    Change of mind........

    Doesn`t look like a 12v jack undecided

    If that's the dealers attitude, it does not bode well for assistance if the vehicle is returned with a fault.

    give us a hint who the dealer may be, so that some others don't suffer.
