I just had my 172 wired for a 22 inch to be in the dining area and under, what is left of, my top bunk for an under the cupboard (drop down) tv so that I can watch tv in bed! I left the one that came with the r-pod over the sink, Now, if I splice into the wiring of the over the sink tv can I get a connection so that I can watch tv outside???? something to think about.......

I didn't actually do the wiring, a friend did and it works! I sorta know how he did it and it uses a lot of splices. BUT it WORKS!

!PICTURES ROXY PICTURES!

You can probably put it next to the plugs outside and your helper can do anything.

Sound like you've made alot of PODmods, making it your HOME_POD away from Home.

!PICTURES ROXY PICTURES!(or did I miss them)

I'll take some before we (he) puts the pod back together. Then I have to get my girlfriend's son to teach me how to down load and paste pictures onto the site. Someday they will get posted.

Where did you get the drop down device? I'm looking for one so I can replace the Audiovox with a 19" TV in my 171.

Haven't bought anything yet - just hooked up a reg. tv My research has found that audiovox makes a 12 inch under the cupboard that I can only get thru Target- and it was cheapest on targets web pages about $300 plus shipping

Westinghouse makes an interesting 19" - haven't seen it yet - but it is designed with a multiple fold base so that it can be hung anyhere. I think Frys or Best Buy has it. It is under $200.
Then on line I found a multiple direction mount for a flat screen tv which might work for me

But to replace the one in your pod in the exact location you might just be stuck with another audiovox but 12 incher.

If anyone has any other suggestions or ideas or knows of a product I would really appreciate the info.

Wow... 3 televisions in an 18' trailer Thumbs Up

The next time that someone makes fun of me for browsing the internet on my laptop while sitting at the campfire, I'm going to send them your way, Roxy.

We bought a Toshiba 15" TV with DVD player from American of Madison.  Under $300.  Also available at BestBuy.com.  Just the right size.  We put a board on top of the sink when we use it, and store it away when not in use.

Outbound: I'm with you, I don't have 3 tv's, but I have a 17" laptop for me (with a HDTV usb connection), my daughter has a 16" laptop and of course the audio thing above the sink.  Plus we both have Blackberries.  Still need to figure out the blackberry modem for the laptop.  But I get emails on the blackberry (have manual not put to use yet).

I think it's a whole new wave.  I'm not camping, I've traveling with comforts of home at a reasonable price.  I have a bucket list and I'm checking it off, IN COMFORT.

Here are the pictures of the 3 tv wiring job. The first one shows the wiring for the tv that will be sitting on the still to be made wall unit and will attach to the receiver and tv. The orange one is the direct wire from the satellite to the receiver. The black one is goes into the sat. port on the tv and the white one is plugged into the cable port


THis one is a close up of the switch between cable and satellite.



The last one shows all of the wiring and splits. The wiring to the other end of the trailer was fed through the wiring tube under the shower and then a hole was drilled into the stationary part of the wood base of the bottom bunk. It will be stapled to the wall and upper bunk for my third tv.
