We are so new!
Hi all, we have just put our deposit on our first MH. Collect a week tommorow. Its a Bessacarr E560 on a 57 plate with only 8.5k from 3A's in Cross Hands!

Very excited and lots of questions to post, such as 'Do we need to buy a MH specific TV?'

Hopefully we wont annoy anybody too much!

Richie and Mandy

Hi and Welcome,

depends how you use it, maybe go for 12v tv if you intend to camp without EHU, otherwise any freeview TV will be fine

Good luck with your new lifestyle

Hi & welcome! We have lots of lovely Funsters from Wales so you are in good company:) If you are thinking about a 12v tv then have a look at Finlux http://finlux.co.uk/search?q=12v&searchsubmit=Go - best that we found. Also good aerial Broken Link Removed & easy release mount Broken Link Removed. Avtex hard sided cases are good for storage too Broken Link Removed. Hope that helps - sure you will get a few more suggestions for other options soon but watch the energy consumption of tv if thinking of running off battery/solar instead of EHU.

Re TV we have a 19 inch 12 volt TV that we got from Argos approx £100
It has DVD player and USB ports and built in Freeview if you want to use a sat dish etc

Hello to fellow Bessacarr owners. (y)

If you have a 12v television then you can use it even when you are not 'hooked-up' to the mains.

Our Bessacarr came with an Avtex 12v television coupled to a mini Sky box and one of the large automatic Oyster satellite dishes (it finds the satellite for you). We do not have Sky at home (hate sport) so I was amazed to find that we could get the Freeview channels through the Sky box and didn't have to pay for a Sky card. This may seem obvious to others but it was pleasant news to me.

Anyway welcome to the forum. There is just one piece of advice I'd offer in using this forum - don't ever mention generators! :)

its as well to get ideas on what not to buy as well as what to buy!
Cello do 12v tv's with dvd etc ..... but... don't buy one.(n) they have very poor sound and we lost our picture when only a few weeks old ( ok it got fixed under warranty, but not good IMHO ) would not buy another:(
