Tv Brand in wildwood 256 bhs?

Hello i just purchased a new 2011 wildwood 256 bhs. The dealer can't find the TV that was supposed to go with it. Do anyone know who makes the TV for this model. He said he would get me a 26 jensen from another RV

We just picked up a 2012 Wildwood 26TBSS and the dealer told us that it didn't come with a Tv. They did install one from the Source,26" Fluid as part of the deal.

I don't think any of the. Actually come with TV's unless it is an odd size (maybe). None of the units on my dealers lot had TV's installed. When you buy the unit they offer to add it for you. It was just a unit that they picked up at best buy with an integrated DVD player in it.

If the dealer is charging you for the Jensen "rv" TV save your money and go to best buy and get a better TV for the same price. I have not seen any difference in the "rv" tv's than the regular consumer. I have 2 regular led tv's and the factory led Jensen now and they look the same. The non Jensen brands have better sound. Just my $.02.

We like the Jensen 26 that came on our camper. Supposedly it's designed specifically to weather the rigors of constantly bouncing around while on the road. And the HD picture is great. We're also very happy with the Jensen stereo/DVD unit that came on the camper.

Someone suggested that most trailers don't come with TV's, but I disagree. Nearly every one at our dealer's lot comes with a TV, and I see them on many dealer websites with televisions installed.

Our 181BH has a 19" Jensen. I have a friend who works for a stereo manufacturer & he says the RV TVs are built more rugged & electronics sealed better to withstand road vibration & off-season storage.

The dealers usually do not leave them in the campers on the lot as they are too easy to steal..............

Our Puma came with a 32" Jensen Forest River must have a contract with Jensen????
