>> My old RV has a tape player, not a CD or MP3 player, as part of the sound system. ?I have seen some sort of adapter/converter that I can plug into my cartridge ?tape player that will accept my Ipod (mp3 format) and let it operate over my in house system. ?Hope it works, as I am about to buy the adapter tonight on eBay.

Jozee, am glad you like the nap idea. Let us know if it works well for you.
Most here know I am very anti Apple, so please don't mention that I bought a 30g iPod video while in Austin. I figured that after I bought my new used rig (toy box), I should buy some new toys to put in it as well. I have over 500 tracks stored so far -- a lot brought forward from my older player of several years. I find that iTunes is the pits compared to Win Media Player -- but I can live with that until WMP is more adaptable to the Pod. But the iPod itself is a fine piece of technology -- for sure.
Have been having fun the past few weeks finding old music videos via BearShare. Yesterday, I found a '78 video clip of Ray Charles and Barbara Streisand doing, "Cryin' Time" that is a classic. Of course, it is not a good idea to watch video while driving. ?
My Jeep toad has a cassette player and, yes, the adapter works great. Some say you get a hissing sound but I have had two of them now and get none of that. I just keep it in the cassette player all the time and ready to plug in my player. I also found an FM transmitter at Fry's that works well -- but on long drives, the stations it uses are sometimes overpowered by local signals.
Now -- my Adventurer came with a top of the line Alpine header with a huge base box attached. Unreal sound. When underway I can turn that puppy up and rock on down the highway. I found an adapter at Best Buys that connects behind the header with a stereo jack that I can plug the iPod into very nicely. They also sell an adapter that I plan to buy this week that will charge the iPod as well at the same time.
