Can anybody suggest a suitable small TV for the camper trailer and where to buy one in
Melbourne. Also a portable radio that will work outback to
check the footy scores,all the cheapies die five minutes out of Alice.
Thanks
TD

G'day TTD, as for the radio, I use in the outback (everywhere) a SONY ICF - 7600DS FM/LW/MW/SW receiver. It cost me $10 at a garage sale - it is a quality instrument/ receiver, to me it would be cheap at $500! I was lucky, it came with extension ariel as
well, still with it's velour bag. I have since seen them on ebay worldwide. Good value, if you find one, as they are older -
check that battery's havn't been left in & corroded contact springs, regards, aussiedingo@qldnet.com.au

I have a 12v Telefunken(careful with the spelling) LCD TV that i use in the caravan and the camper,paid $189 bucks for it about 2 years ago and it's been fantastic, been dropped,kicked and thrown around the caravan and it still goes( currently it is
my home PC screen) ohh it's also got a remote. I cant remember the name of the place but it is on the cnr of lwr dandenong rd and boundary rd in braeside. they sell new and refurbished electrical equipment for great prices.

Well I bought what is very similar but is a Centrex and it was crap.
Died after less than 6 months use and they are out of business.
All I have left is a Telefunken 240-12volt reducer which you can have cheap
From what I have seen around the parks a TEAC seems to be a good unit.
I now have a GRUNDIG from WOW sight & Sound $460.
Does however have a limited viewing angle and must be viewed either straight on or from above a bit.
EG we have to tilt it down as we have it mounted above the fridge and look up towards it so have had to tilt it forward .
However most LCD's are similar.

PS forgot to say its a 15 in and is 12 volt and has a built in HD tuner for Digital and analogue and also has a DVD player built in.
Runs really good off the satellite dish.
