In an age where there are so many portable 12-Volt powered devices and products available the question becomes; how can I power this thing when I'm at home or work? AC to DC wall power adapter for portable devicesMany of us have seen, used, and probably own a small wall adapter that allows the use of a car phone or USB charger at home. These pocket-sized adapters are great for charging small items such as cellphones, iPods, MP3 players etc., but they're not so great for powering larger items like portable TV's, portable powered coolers, 12-Volt fans etc.

Your Guide to Buying a 12 Volt TV for RV's in 2020 https://www.12volt-travel.com/travel/products/12-volt-televisions/your-guide-to-buying-a-12-volt-tv-for-rvs-in-2018.html https://www.12volt-travel.com/travel/products/12-volt-televisions/your-guide-to-buying-a-12-volt-tv-for-rvs-in-2018.html

No matter what size TV you're looking for, when it comes time to buy a new TV for your motorhome (RV) or travel trailer there are a few key points you should keep in mind and we will cover them here.

Most factory installed TV's are of the 110V AC variety and typically consume a lot of power. For driver safety purposes these TV's normally only function when the vehicle's engine is not running. This is achieved by using an automatic power switch installed by the factory. While it is recommended that you leave this functionality as is for the front (“dog house”) TV, it is not necessary to also have the living space, dining space and bedroom TV's function this way. No matter your preference, switching from the standard AC powered TV to a 12 volt TV is not only a quick and easy way around the 110V AC automatic power switch, but also has other added benefits.
