WHy not just run the wires to a plug and move the speakers out and plug them in when needed...otherwise you will be looking at an outdoor type speaker.

IMHO Boze has exellent outside speakers which can be a permanent mount. The sound would be great given the separation on a 30' TT with one on the front side and one on the back side. Good luck!!

David,

We have a pair of these.

They are fantastic! Just plug in the transmitter to your stereo headphone jack and put your speakers outside on your table with you and listen away! They have a volume control on each speaker. You can either plug the speakers into 110 volt outlet, or get rechargable batteries for them. (like we did.)

Enjoy!

Our trailer came with outside speakers. We rarely use them, and then only when we have the awning out and are sitting under it. I try to keep the volume at a point to where if I walk over to the next campsite, I can't hear it. I hate being forced to listen to someone else's music, and I try my best to make sure I don't force them to listen to mine.

I listen to my music outside when camping. I walk about halfway between my neighbor closest to the speakers and my trailer to make sure it can't be heard.

Every time this post comes up, the OP is lambasted with comments about peace and quiet, respecting your neighbors, etc... Let's get off that tangent and just stick to the topic at hand...

My TH came with 6X9 Kenwood marine speakers mounted near the awning. They are hooked up to a small receiver which gets a feed off of the DTV for XM. I then hooked up a small amp to give the Kenwoods a bit better sound. I can crank it up nice and loud!!!!

Check out some toyhaulers for ideas.

Last year at Bolsa Chica...I saw a TT that had brackets with "outdoor" enclosed speakers mounted to the underside. They just attached the speakers to the bracket--plugged the wire and were in business.

Much better than what most people do...crank up the volume so the inside speakers can be heard outside.

We ran speaker wire from our (car)stereo to an set of outside jacks that are in a weather proof electrical box. When we are at a festival or other appropriate place we can plug in any set of speakers we choose. We built our own custom cabinets with 2 sub woofers each plus mid range and tweeters. There is also an input jack so we can use any audio or video device as a source.
