Television - 12 volt or 120?
Bought our trailer new back in 2002. We rarely use the TV, that just isn't the type of camping we do. That said, wife wants to upgrade (the TV) to something more modern - mainly with the intention...

First that 12 volt outlet likely is not very robust ( cab not handle big loads)
2nd Likely NOT a problem with modern power sippers.
Second. there was. a while back a lot of yammer about 12 volt TV's being damaged by the 13.6 volts of the standard RV system... How true it is .. I DO NOT KNOW
Next.... Samsung makes a 14 volt job... (Solved the yammer)
FInally..
Many today use power bricks to convert 120vac to ___ (12 or 14 or even 19)
These are .. at best 90% effie=nt
Likewise the inverter that makes 120 out of 12. at best 90% efficiebt
So if you boondock a lot the 12 volt model makes a lot of sense
