Location: Bend, Oregon | My Exiss came with a TV, but it only works when the generator is running or I am hooked to power. I was told that I could get a 12 volt TV that would run off the batteries. I would like to be able to watch DVD's when dry camping. I see lots of 12 volt TV's for sale, just not sure what I should be looking for? And how does it hook up in the trailer? Will it have to be hard wired in? Or would I have any plugs that run off the batteries? I am open to any/all suggestions, recommendations, experiences.
Thank You!

Location: Bend, Oregon | Thank you for the recommendations. I bought this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X3YBGQC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o... and it works great to play DVDs. The sound is more than adequate with the built in sound bar, and the picture quality (DVD) is good. Now when I don't have power, I can watch movies without running the generator. Not sure how quickly it will drain my batteries, but I will test that out before the first trip.

| Get a solar power battery charger to help keep batteries up. They are inexpensive and easy to use. |
