For those who are looking for a 12 volt TV, Robyn and I purchased an Insignia 19" LED HDTV for a spare bedroom at our house. When it arrived, I found it to be a 12 volt TV with a transformer built into the power cord. That TV is now permanently installed with a swing-down mount on the SLO Ranger, just above the entrance to the V-berth. I plug it into a 12 volt outlet I installed on the port side dashboard. It has good quality sound and picture. I suppose I could add a jumper to wire the TV into the stereo system, but I haven't found that to be necessary.
We use a Winegard antenna to pick up the local channels, which has worked well. The antenna stores flat and hangs from the monkey fur via velcro hook tape when in use, thus no permanent wiring or installation. Based upon Dialtone's recommendation, I've ordered a ROKU to provide more variety.
