I bought a store bought one for the bedroom. I do take mine out though when I store it for winter. Works just fine every time.

As far as I know there is no rv specific tv. We just bought an inexpensive one and an extended warranty to cover being driven down the road.

If store bought make sure that you get the same INPUTS as are on the old Tv... take a picture of where things are plugged in on the old TV and get another with at the minimum the same plugins so that you have the same functionality

As long as it is 120v, buy whatever you want. If you ever hook up to campground cable, be sure to get one with a QAM receiver TV Compatibility Reference Guide | Information Technology | Drexel University

If it is 12v, you'll need to either replace it with another 12v or choose to move to 120v. The only difference is you won't be able to operate the 120v off the battery (without an inverter).

Oh, and welcome to the group!

My off the shelf TV was 12v with a 110v cable and power supply so I can use either. I don't know the model numbers but the brand is Samsung.

The original Toshiba and the Furrion replacement both had RCA pin jacks to connect to the iRV66 in mine. In looking at other TVs most don't have that type connection anymore. You'll find HDMI, headphone or OIS toslink cable out connections, so if you have one of those all in one systems, your source input selection will take a corresponding change

We picked up the Best Buy house brand and it is working good. It’s the Roku TV and we can even stream. Good for rainy days.
