Home Theater Receiver instead of Jensen Factory Unit?

Anyone using a Home Theater Receiver in their RV?

My 3120RL came with a Jensen JWM72A wall-mount RV DVD receiver with Bluetooth (https://www.crutchfield.com/S-4kTC6q...en-JWM72A.html). It's got good features (Bluetooth and app to control it) but it basically sucks - low power and the crap speakers don't help.

I could upgrade it with an 8-channel amp like this one: JBL DSP4086
8-channel car amplifier with digital signal processing — 40 watts RMS x 8 (https://www.crutchfield.com/p_109DSP...L-DSP4086.html) but it's $440.00.

For the same or less $$$ I could replace it with a Home Theater Receiver with all kinds of power, options and features. I could easily add a soundbar or even some inexpensive but much higher quality speakers. I'd plug the HT Receiver into the 110v outlet so it'd be plug-and-play.

Anyone doing this? Seems so simple - better than spending $$$ on car audio gear. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance!
