[tabtrailers] Re: TV question - Here's what I got

9:00 AM |

My factory-installed Coby stopped reading DVDs, so rather than repairing, and because it did not conform to the new, superimposed requirements for regular broadcast TV reception, I shopped for a same-size replacement, surprised Amazon beat everyone's prices and options, even Fry's, Target, Best Buy, Wal-Mart--everyone. Although I couldn't figure how to re-mount it on my Tada's existing wall-mounted swing arm, the Toshiba came with a sturdy foot stand and, blessedly, just one cord.

The price I paid was $159 (Fry's wanted $285 for a store model I had to drive 54 miles to fetch), regular shipping was free but I paid extra for next-day delivery. Beautiful picture, quiet and instant response, light weight, and because I store my trailer in mild desert conditions, I take the Toshiba with me when I leave. Very satisfied with the way this turned out.

Does anyone have one that they have purchased and are happy with? We aren't sure about how good of a reception we would get from just a tv, so that is why the combo is wanted. I have seen the little combo units in some photos w/everything (stereo,cd, etc.), but would like some feedback from some experienced campers. P.S.- Although I am happy w/a good book or magazine,I think hubby would enjoy camping more if he had some tv or a movie to watch...this is a slow work in progress. ;-D Also want to say "THANKS!" for all the helpful info we have gotten from this site..and will continue to get.
