Our “new to us” camper trailer didn’t come with a TV. I think something around 20”-24” would be plenty big enough to put up in the corner on the little TV shelf. As far as TV’s go….are there certain brands, models, or types that hold up better to the heat, cold, vibration, humidity that the travel trailers experience? Would I be better off getting a little mini projector and buying a small while movie screen to hang on the wall and just project stuff on that? Any info would be great!

Go to Walmart and find one that fits. Visios are good, usually. Be sure and view it from the sides, and especially from the bottom angle to see if the screen is visible from those angles. We have an old one, that can only be seen from almost straight on. Installed it in the bedroom, and had to tilt it almost 45 degrees to see it. Planning replacement soon.

Some of them with a "brick" power supply are actually 12v, and you can make your own wire and use it even when you're not plugged into shore power.

I bought a 32" Insignia ( from Best Buy or maybe it was wally world ) for the trailer, and works well. We get so used to big, HD in our homes, then going into a trailer and looking at a little old 19" is quite a shock. I paired it with "dish tailgater for my RV", which is month to month. Works well for me while on the road.

TV would be the cheaper choice.Like others have said look at Walmart, Best Buy or online for a TV to fit the space.

We also use tailgater. We use a 13 inch tv inside and a 32 inch outside when there is a football game and the whole campground comes to watch. Keep in mind, you pay nothing extra for Dish viewing on the road. All u have to do is make sure that the receiver can be used with the tv at home and the tailgater on the road.

I have a Sharp and a Sony...both reputable brands but the Sony has a cool feature that allows me to turn the picture off and just listen to the TV which is nice during the evening news. The Sony also changes channels quicker and loads the programming info much faster on OTA viewing. I think all descent brands will hold up in a TT, but I'd look at the reviews before settling for a cheaper TV.

Insignia is a great bang for the buck brand. It has Samsung parts at half the price.
