I have a new Van with a 12 volt LCD TV which is mounted inside, there is also an external TV Mount bracket if wanting to sit in annexe and watch TV.
The power supply system provided is 100-240 Volt thru AC Adapter and delivering 60/50hz 1.5 Amps.
The Van has 12 Volt system - [2 AGM Batteries and 1 solar panel] but has no 12 volt power source wired into the van that is readily available, I figured I would have had a typical cigarette lighter style socket but none installed? rather it has just the adapter mentioned above which works fine if in carapark but no system if running off 12 volt.
It seems silly to use inverter etc?
Can I buy a portable power pack that I could use, alternatively I expect I can run 12 wiring etc but then what do I do to deliver power into the TV, it has a small male female push in power cord similar to laptop etc.
