Hi all.

Do MP3 players with EXCELLENT FM reception exsist?

Also, any reccomends for a mono indash AM/FM radios, with excellent reception?

Maybe an older Blaupunkt? Or I could rig up a good portable like Grundig?

I figure install a good low draw amp, and wire two seperate inputs for
front or rear placement of MP3 player.

When camping, house battery gets too low over typical 16 hour period.
Useage: 2/3 CD's in dash mount Panasonic CD/Radio, sink pump, + 2
fridge fans running all the time. I drive at least 4 hours a day on
average. The CD player seems to draw the most.

Battery is small, but it  was installed/unconnected for about 8 months
when new and drained too low too many times. I may have damaged it.
Rooky mistakes. Regardless.....

Less consumption is better. A bigger battery may be in the future, but
I'd like to use what I have. Plus having access to tunes at rear of
van, better FM (and maybe AM?) reception and replacing current
malfunctioning CD player, makes sense.

Thanks for any input,

Neil.
