Show us what you tow.

My tear drop came with Jensen TV and separate Jensen cd/dvd/radio unit. I have had no issues but the DVD/CD motor is a power hog but ok for just audio. You can get a quick mount for the TV that you can remove it and wrap it up during travel. Plan on adding external speakers as built in speakers are always pointed the wrong way. We use Netflix with our T-Mobile plan so no charges and an Apple video adapter to the HDMI port. I have found that using a USB with videos works but have had issues making sure the video codex/resolution/dpi is supported. You might want to take something with you and test compatibility before you purchase one.

 

Anyone use this before? Looking for a good add for my 22'TT. Was considering HF kit, but you know....It's HF and not sure how long it would really last.

 

Lot of folks on the Tiny Trailer forums have them. They work really well for the curve of a tear drop, several have had them mounted and have gone through hail storms without damage. You need the diode bridge if you are using two panels - not expensive - add a good controller and you are set.
Yeah, nothing good about HF kits.
I use a portable 80W and it works for us unless we end up in the tall trees. Usually I can move it around from sun light to sun light but that does get to be a pain. Adding panels like this are in my plans.

 

re: TV, use a thin light LED backlit LCD, not too big, and an RV mounting arm. if the interior panel you're mounting on is flimsy, make a backing plate for the arm mount to spread the load.

to heck with DVDs anymores... rip any videos to mp4 files, and run an hdmi cord from your laptop or whatever....

 

Yeah, but getting them to play.... MP4's have a lot of option. I have found that if I can play it on the iPhone then I can plug it in the USB port. Obviously needs to be formatted FAT32 with no extra system files.

 

VLC will play just about anything on a (windows,mac,linux,bsd) laptop and even android, I dunno about iPhone. I do suggest avoiding encoding in HEVC (H.265) format as decoding that is very compute intensive, but AVC (H.264) format mp4 files are easy to play.

Handbrake is a very handy and easy to use tool for generating efficient and decent quality mp4 video files from most sources.

 

NICE!!!

 

DTIVE THAT don't tow it.

 

Only a few more weeks and I'll have these loaded and ready to hit the dunes again!
