  • tv interference

    Anyone having issues with interference in television when bath exhaust fan is turned on? Electronics guy told me to plug tv into outside extension cord to see if there is a difference. there was no difference. that says it's coming through the air and not wiring. Factory says to put line filters on power to fan,but the electronics guy says that won't fix the problem. any help would be appreciated.

      First question: Is interference only when on antenna, cable, or both??

      If only on antenna, the the following suggestions are what I have:

      Signal interference is always a fun one to fix. You may try installing foil around the bathroom vent fan to see if it's magnetic interference with the antenna.

      The other form of interference which the line filters will help correct has to do with supply power issues. The fan is back feeding the interference into the entire 12v system.

      If on cable or both, you will need to determine if the power issue is from the converter back feeding noise into the AC power. Hence using the power cord (hoping you either understood, or was explained to use and external power source to feed the TV) to isolate the TV from the camper. You can try killing all AC power to the camper and feeding the TV from the post via cord and see if the 12v fan still creates the interference.

      Check to ensure the battery disconnect is engaged (cannot remove the key) and that the battery is in good status. If you are feeding the camper 100% from the converter without the battery or with a bad battery it is much easier for electrical noise to cause issues.
