Our original tv has stopped working. Can we replace it with a tv from BJ's or Walmart, or do we have to get one from an rv dealership?
I have 3 TV's one from a Pawn Shop, Two from Wal*mart.
I really do not like shopping at Wal*mart but I could not argue with the price, and on the 2nd one it was a "Scratch and dent" floor sample special complete with out a remote..... Which I just happened to have in stock already (The very remote the set uses. not an "Universal" but the actualy Samsung tower remote)
Now some considerations:
The new TV's are "Wider" so on the front TV I had to modify the compartment.. on the rear I'd already modified it.
Some run on 12 volt using a power brick or wall wart.. My Samsung says it likes 14 volt.. Some folks feel the higher than 12 volt power system in an RV can damage a 12 volt set if you choose to run battery direct.. I disagree, but I'm not set up for 12 volt direct so it really does not matter.. (I have 2,000 watts of inverter)
But any TV that fits.. When I choose the front TV I first measured the width of the opening.. And then measured the TV's at the pawn shop
One of them FIT EXACTLY.. I am watching it as I type.
