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.
- We replaced both of our "boat anchor" TV's with Vizio led tv's. The weight of an led is much less than lcd...Basically, any tv that you like will do well.Just be aware of compatibility with existing components in your rv; ie, surround sound system,vcr, dvd, if applicable.
- I use the $150 or less 22-inch VIZIO HDTV in my setup.
Some folks like to get a 12VDC TV so it will run from the batteries. Some of these can be quite expensive for mobile 12VDC TVs. My answer to this is to use a low wattage PURE SINE WAVE Inverter connected to the battery which will produce the required 120VAC to operate any of the big store brand TV sets.
