Need Help w an Entertainment & WiFi System Setup
We just bought a new-to-us truck Camper (TC) from a dealer and the previous owner removed all his a/v equipment from the unit before trading it. What remains is the newer "JACK Digital HDTV Over-the Air Antenna". I guess he couldn't remove that without making a mess. There is some wiring throughout that I will have to figure out what's what.
We would like to install a new audio/video system and I am looking for suggestions. Here's what I think we want/need ... you may be able to tell us differently.
1) An inside "smart" TV so we can use it for both watching TV (using either antenna and/or cable at campgrounds) and project from our tablet/laptop which we travel with;
2) Don't need/want an outside TV;
3) A DVD player for watching movies;
4) An AM/FM radio player with weather band (ideally), CD capability and input for MP3 etc.
5) The ability to have four speakers inside (2 in the over cab bedroom area and perhaps another 2 in the kitchen area) and;
6) The ability to have two outside speakers to listen through while sitting at the picnic table or around the campfire etc.
Not looking for rock band loud (in fact, just the opposite). We just enjoy quiet, easy listening music while we're relaxing at our campsite. Also, it doesn't have to be top fidelity as we don't use the TC enough to cost justify a top-of-the-line setup.
We're nature people and as such, we're not avid TV watchers (mostly news, some shows on a rainy day maybe etc.) so we're not interested in satellite capabilities (and the added expense).
I'm a little confused on whether it would run off of a 120 ac feed or 12 volt like one would find in a car etc. I haven't heard of a 12 volt smart TV but you may know better. We have one 12v battery for the TC and do not have (or plan for) any solar power enhancements. (98% of our camping is done where electric hook-ups are available).
Hopefully that gives you an idea of what we think we want/need. All of your ideas, suggestions and recommendations are welcome. Thanks in advance, ~ Bugjr ~
