TV Issue?

In my old rig I had a switch to go from shore power to battery power for the entertainment center (Not a Montana). When we lost power this last weekend there was no power except for the lights. Am I missing something or do the Montana's just not have the opion to have the main TV working unless you're on a generator?

Unless you have a 12V version, television only works on shore power or if you have an inverter that runs off the batteries.

Pretty common these days that televisions run on 120v. It's possible your old rig had an inverter installed.

On our Montana, the Living Room TV us 120V and the bedroom TV is 12V, as mentioned before unless you had a converter to power up a 120V TV on the old rig......
