What size TV ??

[Redlooney 2021]

Hi everyone
We're newbies to motorhomes, having had a caravan for a few years now
We pick up our 2014 Bessacarr E572 this week and going to Castleton in Derbyshire at the weekend
We both appreciate having a TV to view and wondered if anyone can advise what size TV they have in their Bessacarr lounge area please ??

We use our laptop or a 10" tablet fixed with gooseneck clamp. So no help at all.....think there are so many views on TVs. Depends on whether fixed and visible or foldaway, angle of viewing and placing for light affecting screen.

If your vans a 2014 there’s a good chance it might have had a tv in by previous owner wait until you get it check for wiring and if there was a bracket fitted. Avtex TVs seem to be the go to for caravans and motorhomes most have built in DVD player and satellite receiver built in.

It depends how close you are going to be to the TV and how good your eyes are!
In our old Swift, we sat about 6-7 feet from the TV which had a 16” screen and it was fine.
In our new van, the TV is about 10-12 feet away and we find our 19” tv to be just about right.

Make sure its a 12v tv and not mains, cello or avtex.

For years we had DVD capable 24" TVs, but the last three vans we just didn't bother anymore, Liz has her iPad and downloads stuff, I have my Tab A and do the same, we can both watch in peace what we like, earphones make it a very pleasant experience, this also leads to not needing an inverter or solar system.
