Jensen TV's
I have recently purchased a fifth wheel trailer and need to replace the TV....is it essential to purchase a Jensen for RV's or can I go out and buy the most economical I can find?

If you are always connected to 120v, get a 120v TV that fits your needs and budget. If you boondock or dry camp a lot, you can get an inverter to power said TV, or buy a 12V TV. Me, I bought a Best Buy's house brand, Insignia. Their $99 TV had a 12v power brick. I bought what I needed from Radio Shack, and it now runs off my 12v system.
I bought two Insignia TVa and a BluRay player from BB and all have the brick. I carry the bricks but don't use them and it has been fine for us. The 24 inch has a much better picture than the 19". The only problem I have had is with the RG6 cables and the19" set. To keep things neat, I bundled about 6" of extra 12VDC cable next to the RG6 cable and in poor signal areas, that set had fuzzy channels. I used three different cables before I found one that worked trouble free. I can't offer an explanation for the cross feed with a shieled cable but with a new cable and separating the power cord and the antenna cable, I no longer have a problem. And by the way, I do have some experience in electronics and it doesn't make sense to me, but it has solved the problem.
Another benefit of the BB sets, they were inexpensive, the 24 " was $129.
