No RCA jacks

My Aspen Trail 2910BHS did not come with a TV. Looking to get one and mount, but I am confused on how I am supposed to connect the tv to surround sound in the camper since the radio in the rig doesnt have any RCA jacks. The radio has an HDMI port and a USB, it's also Bluetooth. Is this how TV's are connecting to soundbars and such now-a-days...via BT? What do I need to ensure while getting this TV so I will be able to connect to the radio? That ks in advance.

So use an HDMI from TV to radio? Aren't the HDMIs on TV "input"?

all you need is the HDMI. It sends signals in both directions. And look for a Bluetooth enabled TV. I have a Jensen 19” 12v for sale on Craigslist Portland, with bracket.

The ARC (audio return channel) hdmi port is set up to connect the tv to a sound bar or audio system. I pulled my radio out and there was a couple of sets of RCA audio input and output jacks on the back of the radio. I ran RCA from them to the tv. Both should do the job.

HDMI cable that supports ARC from TV to the radio with HDMI connection. If RCA is another option, forget it. That will NOT get you HD on your TV from the radio (my stereo is also my DVD player for the TV) or vise versa no HD sound to the stereo.
