We have a 2011 Landmark Grand Canyon, bought new in July 2011 in Ontario, Canada.
It is equipped with a Sharp 32LCD in the livingroom and a small Jenson TV in the bedroom. From new, when operating from the antenae there has always been interferance in the Sharp while the bedroom or bathroom fan was on, but not with the Fantastic fan. Our dealer had no solution for this. The interferance would cause the picture to freeze and the sound is worbly. The Jenson works fine with the fans on. After 3 months of this the Sharp quit altogether and we called our dealer who said we have to deal directly with Sharp for warranty and since it is only a 32 inch we were responsible for getting a case number and removing it and taking it to a Sharp dealer for repair. After waiting a week, the Sharp dealer told us the motherboard was fried and there was no warranty in Canada because the TV was USA spec.
At this point, our dealer did give us a new Sharp out of another Landmark on his lot, only cost us about 200 miles of travelling. The new Sharp still has interferance when the fan is on.
We have now moved to another RV park (in Florida) and for the first time we are connected to cable Tv service, and the picture is very snowy, and there is still interferance with the fan on. We had the park check our connection, I bought a new wire, but the only way to get a clear picture is to run the wire though the window and connect directly to the TV. This also eliminated the fan interferance.
So now I'm thinking there is a short somewhere that connects the TV cable to the 12v fan circuit somewhere in the walls of the RV, and that is likely what ruined our first Sharp. Closest Heartland dealer is now 100 miles away, not sure if I want to spend our vacation hauling the RV around.
Any suggestions appreciated, maybe there is something I can do by removing a panel somewhere?
