Lets face it, the built in Jensen stereo speakers in the TA@B only sound acceptable at really low volume. The TV is about the same. It's a tight space and I really didn't find much I could squeeze in there to replace them with.
I added an Aisidra Bluetooth transmitter (it's also a receiver) to the Line Out of the Jensen stereo and got a Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Portable Speaker (waterproof) which sounds great. Being Bluetooth, the Bose speaker works inside and outside the T@B and has at least a 30-40 foot range... and before you freak out about playing music outside, we use our T@B for antique shows and music festivals also. There's many times we like to sit outside and listen to our music library on a USB drive from the Jensen stereo when we're not camping.
I thought there might be an issue with audio sync with the TV sound but I was happy to find the Aisidra Bluetooth Transmitter does not have any noticeable sound lag running from the TV to the stereo, and then out through the transmitter.
Both the Bluetooth transmitter and Bose speaker last several hours on a single charge and recharge and play while charging using our USB ports. Now we can listen to good high fidelity sound from the TV playing through the stereo and have our music inside and outside with no wires to mess with. I do have some additional install notes here:

I wish that NuCamp would stop putting Jensens in altogether. They could just make some cubby holes for a decent set of bluetooth speakers near the front and then a place for them in the back on each side of the TV.
They could even emboss them with NuCamp. Then in the future when people go to buy our old Tabs having the speakers will be asked about.
I do think, once labor is factored in, it may even save the company money.
