Re: TV UPGRADE QUESTIONS
Any Smart TV from Walmart will do.

Any TV will not do. To the OP, since your coach is almost 20 years old there is a good chance your TVs are 12V. You'd have to measure the voltage at the outlet. If the outlet has 12V you could re-wire it to a 120V circuit providing the wiring is up to snuff or if a 120V outlet is close enough you could run an extension cord.
you realize that would be 2005, I have not seen a 12V tv standard in a unit unless it was specially ordered since the lait 90's. and even then I have only seen them in pictures 😁 if the outlet is a standard 120V outlet then its a 120V tv, the 12V tv's had a cigarette lighter 12V style plug. that's why those plugs are still available behind the tv's incase some one buys a 12V tv so they can use it with out 120V
How do I check the voltage at the outlet?I know the outlet is your standard outlet like at your house. The outside entertainment center TV is plugged into one too and I am able to plug in my big fan in it and it works, which is suppose to work on a 110v power supply.
Side Note: I was plugged into shore power when I ran the fan, If that makes a difference..
So what's the difference between the 2?
You answered your own question already.
way2roll sort of confused the issue I initially thought but appears was appropriate response given you verified they are 120V AC TVs yet are still asking what the difference is.
assuming this is your first RV (I hope), you’ll find that some electrical devices run off the batteries (12v DC) and others run off AC (household) current which is achieved by magic (inverter) or shore power/generator.
FWIW this basic knowledge is worth learning or make sure you have bribed a mechanically inclined friend or RV tech to receive your calls at 12am when a battery dies or the power goes out, so you can navigate the basics of RV operation.
