Shhhh Ted, you're gonna give away all my secrets
Trust Deltarat, nobody roughs it better than him. You can tell by how small the microwave is in his camper.
After giving you a bad time about TV in the camper..here's an easy solution..
If you carry a laptop, USB HDTV receivers are available cheap. I bought mine a couple years ago and it was about $49.00 then. Look on eBay and you'll find them now for around $10.00. Of course, you can also watch DVD's on the laptop. Really no need for a TV in the camper..Do it all with your laptop.
The 200 mile extension cord got to be too much of a bother to lug around, so I am now using a small Honda generator.
My trips can last 4 to 5 weeks, so having a tv along is just a bit of luxury.

here's a swivel mount for it/other TV's. Is this kinda what you were looking for leadsled??
I took a tape out to my Granby to try to figure out where I could mount a 19" flat panel, well, I couldn't find one. Please post pictures of your install, I might want one too.
Well, I do have a laptop with me, so I will consider the usb unit.
I already have a Toshiba 19" flat panel tv with built-in dvd player. When I run it with my inverter, it only draws 40 watts....so I think it is a better solution than buying a 12 tv/dvd player.
I am eyeballing a mount that might work.
I spoke with Chicali at Four Wheel Campers and he too is trying to figure out a mount for a flat panel tv. He has kids and says a tv is a necessity.
