TVs (with DVD player) for motorhomes/caravans

We had one from Aldi (branded Baehr or something like that) last year, but returned it due to sound quality issues. It wasn’t too bad on TV but the volume level and clarity when using the DVD was poor. Even at full volume it wasn’t easy listening.

no problems getting money back and we bought an Avtex. Considerably more expensive but a much better performance.

We have an 18" Avtex TV & DVD  12v or 230v in the van. We use it on 12v all the time as it saves messing with the power pack. Think we got it about 8 years ago, never had a problem with it.

I bought a 16" Traveller from Falcon( advert in Club mag) at the October show. Haven't used it much yet though.

If it is like the one I got from the same source a few years ago (at a somewhat lower price!) it is actually a 12 volt TV with an adaptor to drop/rectify the 240 volt mains.  Most transistor and microchip equipment actually runs inside on low voltage direct current even though it has a three pin plug on the end of the lead.

This is the one being advertised at ALDI - 

This Bauhn 24" HD TV/DVD with Freeview will be the perfect addition to any room in your home. With built in HD Freeview you'll be able to continue watching your shows while relaxing. Meanwhile, the DVD player means you can watch a few of your favourite films too. Small and compact this TV/DVD combo would also make a great addition to a kitchen, caravan or child's bedroom.

I thought it seemed good value - and as we only like small televisions we may replace our somewhat old home TV.  (I've just measured our current TV and it's a 20 inch screen!!!)

Costco would wasted on you then Vaĺ. They had a telly right at the front of the store today. 86" & a mere snip at just £5999.98 😉

Cooooor 

With  a  bit  of  judicious  hammer  and  cold  chisel  work  my  neighbours  could  watch  that  as  well!!

I've always hated big screen TV - I think back to the days when the screen sizes made everyone look really fat!  And talking about neighbours watching, years ago, in the very early days of TV from alternatives to BBC and ITV, our friends in Bramhall wondered why, at certain times, they got 'interesting channels' suddenly coming through on their TV.  Apparently it was somehow picking up what their neighbour was watching, on whatever system he was using, and when the neighbour's wife went to bed he watched some rather explicit films - and so did they!
