Dual voltage telly dead cheap

At last you can forget paying rip off prices for a tv for your motor home. Currys essentials and some of their other small flat screen tvs are 12volt. They come with a mains adapter so you can still use them when you have a hook up. You'll need to make up a 12 volt plug lead(all the bits are available from Maplins for under £6) to plug it into your cigarette lighter socket. I bought a lovely 16 inch flat screen with built in DVD player and free view for £109 and a wall bracket for £14. My pal bought a 19inch with all the bits for £139.

The cheapest dedicated TV we could find was £258. Curry's staff don't seem to know so just check the back of the display TV's and if it has a mains type adapter instead of a standard 13amp plug you're on to a winner. You'll need a 2.5mm plug, a cigarette lighter plug and a length of figure of 8 cable and a few minutes with a soldering iron to get it up and running.

i just got it installed and what can i say 38 channels almost perfect quality ! the little ariel is magnetic so just sits onto of the van roof or you can use the window sucker if you want it inside!

you can even pause and record the channels and it works in europe im lead to believe

you can either pre charge the freeview device that clicks into your ipad or have it plugged in charging whilst your using it

i just got my ipad tucked in one of the side nettings

best thing about this all is no roof ariel or expensive 12v TV and doesnt rely on continuous power

cheers

I saw this gadget but I have an early iPad one and it is only suitable for iPad 2 or newer which is a shame as I would have gone for it.
