Recommended Tv

[Hogie]

I'm looking to purchase a Tv for my Cali, can anyone suggest a reasonably priced option, also any accessories required to guarantee a decent picture.
Thanks

Works great so long as there’s a decent signal.

We have a Bauhn 22 inch tv we bought from Aldi about 4 years ago. Obviously we haven’t actually fitted it anywhere as it’s too big and wouldn’t really like to have it fitted permanently anyway..We just sit in on the glass cooker top on a towel. It’s both 240 and 12 volt so can be used in the cigarette socket if you want.. Good picture and DVD..About £120 when in stock..We use it in our kitchen when at home..

I’ve always used Avtex TV’s and found them very well suited to vans. They’re expensive but you do get 12v/230v, and a DVD player combined. I use a portable Avtex aerial which also works well. I’ve got a spare Avtex TV I would sell when you’ve decided what you want.

We’ve been using a phone with an unlimited data plan to stream iPlayer etc and then connecting it by WiFi to an old iPad BUT when there’s a very weak 4G signal (or no Wi-Fi available) we’ve been stuck with no TV.
So, bought the August device recommended by @ArunAlec and set it up today. Brilliant bit of kit, small and inexpensive.
So now as long as there’s a TV signal we’re sorted regardless of 4G or WiFi availability

I love how you fix your iPad to the seat. What do you use, please?

Hi @KatyCC , I bought a sprung loaded bracket that clips on the headrest posts. I think I found it on Amazon? Works well.

The last couple of campsites we have stayed at there was no tv signal at all but the WiFi was so good we just watched it over the Internet.

Good to have a few options
