Linear Series DVD/Stereo to 2 tv's
We've got a Laredo 23RB that has a Linear Series DVD/CD/Stereo unit, hooked up to the TV in the living room. I put another tv on the other side in the bedroom, and I know i'm not the only one that wants to connect the BR tv to the living room. Anyone else done this? I've been searching online for a solution, even went by Fry's this afternoon with no luck. It doesn't have HDMI ports, only the RCA connections, HELP!

Does the DVD player only have RCA jacks and the TV doesn’t?

No, the TV has the RCA jacks as well. The head unit is the original that came with the RV when we bought it. It has the red, white and yellow, then another pair of red and white cables coming out of it.

What do you propose to use as the input to both TVs? The solution will vary with what you want.

If it has two sets of RCA cables, most likely one set is “in”.

I have a splitter to connect the incoming TV antenna to both tv's, but i'm trying to connect the DVD player to both, so when we go to the bedroom, we can play a DVD, without having to move the cables from one tv to the other.
They make boxes that you can connect multiple items, XBox, Blue Ray, ect, to one TV, Just don't know how to connect one item to multiple TV's.

One option would be to use Y connectors at the RCA cables. Then just run 2 sets of cables, one to each TV.

You could do it with three of these plugged into the back of your DVD player, one for L/R/Video out, then plug your existing RCA cables to each TV from the adapter. Alternatively, you can buy "Y" cables to do the same thing and eliminate one connection. If you decide to use "Y" cables, you'll need Male tips on all three ends. I'd get the 3' ones, chances are the 12" ones will be too short.
Here's the adapter if you consider going that way:

Thank You both. When I was at Fry's yesterday, the guy told me that I needed the Y cables, but he kinda scratched his head as he told me, so I was a little apprehensive. He said I would need male/female adapters as well, because of the cables, which they didn't have.
I'll see what I can find local here, D/FW area, today, as we're leaving Wednesday to go to Padre Island for our Christmas.
