Best TV/DVD Combo for my Wolf Creek 850?

Looking for input as I would like to install tv/dvd combo in my WC 850. Also mounting suggestions. Thanks guys in advance...:)
  • I used this TV with this mount and I've been happy. It runs on 12V with no inverter required, has a built-in DVD player (but not Blu-ray) and has a decent viewing angle.

    I mounted it to the normal spot (left side of camper, front of wardrobe cabinet) and the mount lets it swivel so it can be viewed from either the bed or the dining table. I swivel it vertical for storage and secure it with a nylon buckle strap I bought for a few bucks. I run the sound through the AUX input of the stereo, but it puts out enough sound to work fine without doing that.
  • Thanks for the input. I didnt think about viewing angles yet but now I am. As far as mounting there is a 3/4" strip about 4" wide and tall enough inside the cabinet where im going to mount the tv bracket that looks stout enough to hold everything, tv, mount and so on. Im thinking Thats where the Northwood factory mounts the optional tv in these campers.
  • One thing to remember when purchasing a TV for the RV is to look at the viewing angle, if you can go to the store and sit lower then off to each side to see what it looks like at those angles. A DVD player is also nice to have.

    Most times in a RV you wont be looking straight on at it. I found out the hard way after buying and returning 2 TVs, that sometimes at those angles the screen is washed out or black making them un-viewable.

    After buying and returning a Samsung and a RCA I found a Insignia that has a much larger viewing angle, 178 horizontal and 178 vertical viewing angles.

    In my RV with the TV in the front or the rear bedroom you have to look up at it. This TV works great in both areas. The DVD quality is excellent.
  • I have an Insignia tv and a sony blu ray player. I have both running on 12v, just cut off the trsnsformer and wired to a cig plug

    I like the mor ryde mounts but they are spendy. They have a great travel latch
  • I have a 22" Pyle with integrated DVD that runs off a cheap inverter or on AC. It does not use a "wall wart" like some of the cheaper TV's. A headphone cord connects between my Pyle and Jensen stereo's external input port if I want better sound through the stereo speakers for a movie.

    My Arctic Fox has room to handle a 24" TV, but 26" would have too tight using the stock mounting location. I used a swing arm mount that is held only by friction. When traveling, the television face is swung against the driver side window valance in the cab over and stays there without additional tie downs.
