Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on what is a good tv to buy. I have a small everyday tv that I can use in my caravan but have been told that they are not really robust enough for being used in a caravan
when you say not robust, and small tv, what exactly are you talking about? we have a small flat screen for ours which has lived in it for the past 6 yrs, travelling inside a cupboard which is actually right on top of the wheelarch! its not suffered any damage at all, and works perfectly each and every time, its a 17 inch one of tescos own makes
The tv I have is just a 16" M&S one with a DVD player. I have used it in the fifth wheel that we had and yes it seemed fine, but if we were to upgrade it or if it does go funk I was wondering if it was advisable to buy a specialist one. I read somewhere that they were built for bouncing around in a caravan but I have no idea on makes etc.
We have been caravanning for 44 years and have always taken TV with us.We always keep the original box and polystyrene packing to put it in when travelling and have never ever had a problem.Presently have an LG 22inch flat screen with HD.
Personally, I would not pay more than about £100,from somewhere like Argos. If you are going to run it on 12v, then you will have to get one which will do that.
When we travel, our tv is laid, screen down on the fixed bed.
If you do not have a fixed bed, put it screen down on a seat cushion and secure it with a bungie or something.
There are some TV's in Caravan mags for £300-£400, which are HD, Freeview, Freesat etc, depends what you need.
Thanks for the input. I think we will just carry on using our little tv and re think it when it finally fails and when I know exactly how much and what tv programs we will watch.
On the question of being robust I can't see that as a problem unless it is intended to leave the TV fixed to a bracket whilst travelling. Bags for Everything sell a padded bag which would protect the TV whilst travelling on a bunk/bed in the van.
