On our last camping trip of 2010, we tried to play a movie one night and I noticed the colors were all funny. I checked the connections on the back of my TV and even pulled out the Pummel Drive unit to check the connections there and they were all good. When we got back home, I tried 2-3 different component cables, but got the same results. I tried the TV in our house and it worked fine. It looks like to me that one of the component colors has gone out on the Pummel Drive
.
I emailed Crossroads and they said our 5'er is now out of warranty, but they would be happy to sell me another Pummel Drive for $200
. I don't want to purchase a new Pummel Drive and have it go out too (let's face it, Pummel Drive isn't exactly a brand name). I noticed the new units have Jensen units in them, but Crossroads didn't give me a price on those.
Since finding a replacement unit to fit that opening is difficult, I'm considering a DIY mod which would allow me to use a home receiver and DVD player. I'm thinking of removing the door beneath the TV and removing the divider and installing a shelf. I could use the top of the shelf to hold the receiver and DVD player and then below the shelf for storage. I could also use the double door area above the TV, but that's a little high up.
How are everyone elses Pummel Drives holding up? Anyone on here done away with the stock stereo unit and replaced it?
