My brand new 2010 Outback 230RS purchased in 11/10, came with a Skyworth 22 TV / DVD combo that lasted 4 months and broke after only being used like 4 or 5 times in that 4 months. (It WAS 1 month PAST the 90 day warranty). I replaced it with a Naxa 22" TV / DVD combo and it has been working fine for 5 months now. These two 22" TV / DVD combo units are the ONLY 22" ones that I could find that
WILL run off of
12vdc! I run my Naxa exclusively on 12vdc in the trailer as it uses very little current, and you do not have to have the generator buzzing away while watching a good movie! I searched around a lot on the net at the time of my purchase and found the below site the least expensive place to buy from, as they give you free shipping too! They delivered the unit in just days from my order. Click on the below link, then scroll down
PAST the Skyworth unit to the Naxa unit.

Seeing my first Skyworth TV / DVD broke just past the 90 day warranty I purchased a
3 year extended warranty, (guaranteed replacement if it breaks), on my new Naxa for only $45.00 and I am fairly sure, this TV / DVD
will break in that 3 years as I am going to use it at home! I figured why leave the TV on the trailer, where it is subject to a wide range of temp's. and potential theft. I purchased an additional (outside) TV wall bracket from my local Keystone dealer, and installed it in our bedroom wall, so it is easy to just remove the TV from our trailer with its wall mounting arm attached, take it home, and slide it into the wall bracket in my room, where I do use the A/C house current adapter. The "Square Trade warranty that I purchased was not from the place I bought the TV from. I purchased it also on the net from Square Trade warranties found here:

Now if i can just remember to bring that darn remote home with me every time I leave the trailer, and save that return trip to go back to get it!!!
Hope that helps...
