Who has a good solution to 33rl 5th wheel living room TV

Wire an inverter, preferably a pure sinewave version, either near your battery bank or in your entertainment center if not too far from batteries. As stated above, the DC power sockets within most rigs normally can not handle the current draw from an inverter which was the case for us.

Being that are entertainment center was located near our battery bank, we installed a small 350 watt inverter within entertainment center and ran wiring from batteries to feed it 12 volts. It runs our HDTV, HD Satellite, HD gaming\Blu-ray player, sound bar and subwoofer easily.

When RVing, we prefer boondocking and dry camping, we purchased our rig to enjoy all the amenities within and do so even while off the power grid. Being able to restore consumed amphours to the battery bank daily, utilizing both sufficient solar and occasional generator use keeps us going indefinitely.

Assuming your TV is 120 volt, which most are, what you need is called an "inverter". It steps 12 volt battery power up to 120 volts. If you just want to run the TV, get yourself a good quality 300 to 350 watt Pure Sine Wave inverter. Lots of ways to wire them in. A good RV tech can do it if you're not handy with these things.

You hook up the inverter to power the 110 circuits you want to power off the inverter. When you have shore or generator power the inverter passes that power through and does not draw power from the batteries.

The OP is thinking the 12 volt outlets in an RV are so you can plug in an appliance like a small Inverter to power a 120 appliance like a TV. NOT SO, Those 12 volt plugs are NOT designed to power a Small Inverter that has a cigar lighter plug. Especially the 12 volt antenna booster. The wiring on the back is not large enough to safely power an Inverter. You can do it, but it is not the best way to do it. The OP assumed that there should be another 12 volt plug receptacle by his main TV to use a small Inverter. They do not do that on almost all RV's. He needs to install a 700 watt or a 1000 watt inverter, which is what most OEM's do when they want to Power the entertainment center when boondocking. Doug

No oversight. They do not wire RV's for 12 volt power to the TV's. That 12 volt plug by the booster is NOT for a Inverter to power the TV. You can use it for that but is NOT designed for powering an inverter. If you want to run 110 volt TV's you must install a regular Inverter on the TV/entertainment 120 power circuit. Doug

I'm not sure I understand your issue, but sounds like you need to install a 12V connection in the living room for the inverter. I use a small 300 watt inverter when we are boondocking.

If the cable is already in the living room you'll have to go into the bedroom to turn on the antenna amp.

I have seen other RVs without 12V outlets near the TV antenna connection. Many only have the antenna power plate 12V connection.

I don't have the TV power issue, but have added several 12V outlets in our campers so we had places to charge our phones.

It's a simple task, only 2 wires, you just have to decide where a good location is to put the 12V recepticle, and then run a couple of wires to it from an existing circuit. You could run all the way to the fuse box if you can't find a circuit fused to carry the TV/inverter load. I used 14ga. stranded wire so it would more than carry the power required for the inverter and TV.

Install large enough inverter and batteries for your needs.
We have that model, run 4x6 volt batteries, hardwired 2000 watt inverter and 560 watts of solar.

Not that familiar with that model. Do you have an inverter? Do you have enough of a battery bank to power an inverter?
By the way welcome to the forum.

If you have enough battery capacity install an inverter and a dedicated receptacle behind the TV. Thats what I did and when we boondocked I simply turned on the inverter powering the sat and TV.
