I need a 13" TV for my LQ. I have the standard small cabinet with
the rollup front and slide out tray. The front width is 15-5/8" and 17" deep and 16" inches tall. I want a TV with both a DVD & VCR in it. But I have been unable to find a 13" with both. Has anyone seen a brand that has a 13" w/ both DVD/VCR in it?
The other choice appears to be to buy a 13" with a VCR in it, and get a DVD player to attach to it. I'd consider a 13" with a DVD and buy the VCR, but I can't find a VCR that is less than 16 inches wide.
Are there other choices that are not budget breakers? (<$300)

I had a 13" with a VCR for my LQ cabinet that fit perfectly. Then my son needed a small TV for school so I gave him mine thinking that it would be easy to replace. WRONG! Most small TVs are now DVD ones and the VCR ones are too big now. I ended up with a 9" DVD, which fits great. Moral of this story, make sure you really measure because that rolling cabinet door can cause problems with fit.

Most all of the Truck Stops sell 13 inch 12 volt/110 tv's with built in DVD players, I just got one before my trip, I got it at the Flying J truck Stop for $179.99, works great. Also Wall Mart sells a 9 inch Emerson with a built in DVD 12 volt/110 for $159.99, fits most areas

Similar problem here but as far as I know there really isn't a solution for a combo tv/dvd/vcr unit that will actually fit the cabinet. Finding a tv/dvd is easy though but again the vcr problems. I rarely if ever watch a vcr tape to begin with except to watch a video of a horse so I will likely go with a tv/dvd.
Sadly I had just bought a tv/vcr/dvd combo for our old trailer that just sat on a tv stand in the bunk area but after getting the new trailer w/ the cabinet and roll up door I realized there is no way it's fitting because even though it is a 13" the housing is wider to accomodate both.
