12v or 240v? Just buy whatever you fancy in the shops. 22"? I hope you've got plenty of room for it.Cool

Ours is 22".  It's a normal TV - we got it from Tesco, but it is a mains TV.   It doesn't make much difference for us - we always use EHU.

We were lucky, Aldi had a 12/230 volt tv/DVD for sale at £100 with a 3 year warranty. Can't fault it. Don't know when they will have this offer again I am afraid.

david. we used to have a 22" Tesco with dvd (in fact, we had two of them....we got a second one for the bedroom) and they were great. but mains only.....we really needed a 12v set, but most of the high street stores dont do them these days.

our new van came with a 19" 12v set built in (in a hidden slot...) and we had a second 12v 16" tv (Cello Traveller) fitted in the bedroom.

if the OP is considering camping 'off grid' (some CLs, temp hol sites, aires in france etc, etc.....) then it might be worth seeking out a 12v set.....

We decided on the Avtex 21.5 inch Combi which is 12/230v Apart from an excellent picture it has the advantage, to us, of having a built in satelite reciever which works seamlessly with our automatic dish. If you don't need the 12v or the combi/satellite tuner aspect I would be inclined to look for something like this  We had a slightly smaller Samsung in a previous caravan and are still using it at home.

For info....

Sky subscribers, who wish to take their home package with them, will need to either take their home box or pair their home card with a second (permanent) nox in their van.

tv with built in sat tuners are for receiving the 'freesat' range of channels....the 'premium' channels (sports, movies etc) require a sky box (and appropriate viewing card) to receive them.

If  you are like us. ie wife insists we go to a site where there is  a power station on site

Then a good quality set  from the likes of Curry's rtc  with freesat and free view .will more then suffice

Or buy a 12 v to 250 Volt, 250w inverter from say Maplins

Once you have an inverter  you don't have  to limit  yourself to a small range of expensive  small televisions.  with a mediocre picture  If you have spare TV you could even use that 

We have a 27 inch Full HD TV, easily fits inside our Caravan

again, for sky subscribers, unless you have a very old 'javelin' box, all other sky boxes are mains only.

we have an inverter (in fact, two) which runs the sky box when off grid.
