TV gone bust ... Replacements?
An 8-year-old Jensen flatscreen TV went south. Do I have to use an RV-specific replacement or can I go to Best Buy? Thanks!

First: There is no such thing as an RV specific TV.. Just some that are marketed that way but are really no differnet than the house model.
THERE ARE, however, TV's that are designed to run on 12 or 14 VDC (my Samsung is 14VDC) from a "power Brick" (Actually we call those converters in another space in the RV) If you plan on boondocking, one of these might be of interest.
Some folks worry that the 13.6 Volt (normal) or 14.6 (Charging) voltage of the RV power system is too high for a 12 volt.. And to that I comment my Samsung is 14 volt.. WOrks well with 12 but handles the higher voltages well too.,
