Our Jensen 12V failed last year after only 4 years of use. I went to Costco and bought a basic 32" TV and use an inverter to power it when 110v isn't available.

My TT came with a 120v tv and I just added an inverter for when boondocking.
As an added benefit I can charge my laptop battery when shore power isn't available

For TV only a 300 watt "Bestek True Sine Wave" inverter will do just fine and they're less than $50 on amazon. Might even get away with an MSW inverter for less but the price of TSW's has come down so far in these small units why not get the better unit?

Don't feel you need a huge Inverter for TV's. It takes a HUGE TV to exceed 100 watt power draw today unless you're trying to power a legacy Plasma unit.

Thanks for the inverter suggestion. I bought a new one for the MH and it didn't work very well. I ended up going back to one that I've used for years. I may give that one a try.
