TV black & White

Newbie Rver. This summer purchased a 2014; 295 rkd Mountaineer. Living room TV is hooked up to a Jensen unit. Drycamp mostly so pack DVD's. Get great sound, picture, however, is black and white. Sansui 39" TV came with unit. Not sure if the cable needs replaced or the TV. Painstakingly went through the TV setup features many times without any improvement. Would love to hear any suggestions how to troubleshoot; or, if I should go buy a replacement TV. Thanks so much for reading.

If it's actually a black and white TV it did not come with that camper. Color goes back many years before that.

TV test

I would get a TV from your house and just plug it into the connections to test. Try the antenna then try the HDMI connection. But if the TV is black and white on antenna AND thru your DVD then the TV is bad.

I believe you should be using the three color composite cables between the TV and the DVD player so you can get color output. What cable are you using?

Your 3 RCA connectors are left sound right sound and video. Sounds like TV bad.
