12 volt issue?
I have 2 maxair fans and one of the 12 volt tvs shut down for several minutes then power restores by itself. Any ideas what could cause this. The rest of 12 volt powered devices remain operational.

I stated 30 years ago. NO RV maker installs a 12 volt TV in a new RV and have not for over 25 years. Yes, you can find them, but 120 volt LCD is the cheapest best way to go. Doug
Your modern 120v LCD is actually DC (might not be 12v). Just like your laptop can be plugged into a 120v wall socket, the first thing it does is convert the power to DC.
Yes, but 12 volt TV's have had interference problems from the rest of a RV 12 volt system. Plus, one problem years ago was the SIZE of 12 volt TV's. Now, you get up to 32 inch. BUT, as I stated, depending on the RV's 12 volt system and charging system you may get interference. THIS is why RV makers 25 years ago went to 120 only CRT Tv's and then LCD Tv's. Doug
PS. Most 12 volt LCD's draw 30 to 50 watts DC power. With good Solar, not a problem
