![]() So where are the supposed vibrations that are going to destroy the precious circuitry? Even our crystal wine glasses (not plastic) stored in Jayco's wall glass cabinet have never broken! We always take the TV off its mount when mobile - stored on the Bed. Yes, you are right - we only watch the TV when we have stopped. So why do they persist in adding these old DVD players? All my discs these days are Blue Ray to play back on Full HD screens at home or in my Van when I go Vanning. No only are these Van style TV's much more expensive but even come with an old style DVD player, which is loaded into their price. So much for your auto spakie's incorrect comments about 12VDC TV's been more energy efficient than 240VAC - not worth even the energy of my finger used on my calculator! If you want to split hairs - from my example the Samsung Home TV is slightly ahead of the "built for mobile purpose" Englaon's You don't even have to consider for a moment the minimal energy used by modern LED/LCD TV's - 12V DC or 240V AC!!. That's OK - it comes free (!) from my solar panels - more than enough to run the fridge and my LED lighting each and every day I am away in my van - and free camping. ![]() That's about 3 times what the TV uses, and fridge is ON 24 hours a day when the TV is about 2 hours max. When the compressor runs, it draws about 5Amp as seen on my BMPRO BMS. 1200W for 1 minute (72kwH) - my 320W rated Solar panels in bright sun replaces "all that energy" - 15 Amps (typically seen on my BMS) well and truly under 1 hour - more like 10 minutes! back into my LFP'sĬompare that with my biggest energy user - my Dometic compressor fridge that uses quoted 23kWh when set at 3 degrees at ambient 32 deg C. My free solar power generation (yes on all the time -free camping or not) might be considered with this example - My coffee machine runs for 1 minute drawing 100 Amps DC thru my 2kW inverter. Your Vans' multi LED lights uses more power than that!!! My Jayco does - as seen on my Battery Management System that measures power consumed on each circuit - about 8amps (100w) max in total is drawn when all the van's bright lights are turned on. It does not even get warm to the touch!- "useless as a heater or even a hand warmer" My small Jaycar inverter uses ~3 amp at 13V ( using my LFP batt's - solar powered) at 90% efficiency, to provide all that "massive" power ~ 35W needed to run the Samsung. That calculates out to 368 kWh/year! That's probably a bit more than my 240VAC powered Samsung 32" TV run thru my small 12VDC to 240VAC Inverter. Englaon state that all their 32 Inch TVs are "low-power" devices and come with a 12v DC adapter, enabling you to charge your TV whilst travelling (?) and further quoted Power Max Power Consumption is 42W. My Samsung 240V AC 32" LED TV has quoted Power Consumption (kWh/yr) of 116 - that's Samsung' s own spec fig's.- look them up - on their web site! & that's a meager 317Wh/day or 13W/hr based on 116. Your auto Sparkie does not seem to know much!! Just ask him for his figures to back up his claims. What a load of non sense Jenny!! Come on! - really? - do your own maths - that's worse than the pseudo info that we are being told - we all need to buy 12V TV's because they have special anti vibration circuitry. With sizes ranging from 19 inch to 32 inch and features including everything from built in DVD players and Full HD LED screens to Smart TVs, there is a TV to suit every application. This means not only are these TVs designed and tested specifically for Australian conditions, they are also backed up by nationwide service networks if any issues do arise. We offer 12v LED TVs from leading Australian caravan accessory wholesalers. ![]() Some of the latest 12 volt LED TVs also include low voltage warnings and bluetooth compatibility. This allows you to re-tune and find available channels with the click of a button.įor the times when you are out of reception a TV with dvd, usb and HDMI inputs means you will never be without entertainment. When you are constantly on the move, a quick-tune function is a huge timesaver. Unlike household TVs that are designed to sit in one place without moving, caravan TVs need to be built tough to last in Australian RV conditions.ġ2V TVs built tough for Australian RV ConditionsĪs well as being tough, there are many other features included that are important when travelling with a TV. One of the major differences between televisions designed for caravans and RVs is their ability to withstand the bumps and vibration caused during travel. While there are many TVs on the market that can operate on 12V using dc power adaptors, they are not all suited to life on the road. Whats the difference between household and caravan 12V TVs?
