Replacing our television
So this year we want to replace the tv in our rv does it need to be a special kind because of the bumps in the roads or can we just go to a big box store and buy one

- I think any of them will work but I think the Samsungs pick up over-the-air TV signals better. We've been bouncing around a couple of Samsungs for three years and they've sat outside in the MH down to -20F and up to 115F inside of the MH with out heat or air on.
We primarily went with them because we like their "smart" capabilities the best. If you want more than just a TV, read the functionality carefully. Each brand makes from just a cheap TV to a multi-function TV. You will have to pay more if you want more functionality.
As for where to buy, we've gotten some from Costco and Best Buy who will match Amazon's pricing so you don't have to wait for delivery. I think Costco has a better warranty, but I've heard they're changing it because of people buying them to use for a party or something like the superbowl and then returning them a couple of days later.
Bill - Big Box store will be fine. Just make sure it fits where you want it to go and that it is properly secured - you may have to get creative in how you secure the TV depending on your setup, but I am confident you will be fine. The new flat panels can properly handle more bouncing around, etc than the old tube-type. Good luck!
