Hmmm..you know I didn't look for a cigarette lighter plug in the camper, but I will now. I don't recall seeing one, but I may have overlooked it.

There is one 12V outlet in mine, and mine is older.  Where the antenna amplifier switch is.

My '10 171 has a standard duplex outlet marked "TV ONLY" in the cabinet under the antenna connector.   Seems to me the book on it said it was 12V.... And the lower receptacle of the duplex is taped over. My previous owner did put a auto style 12v outlet in the corner by the door under the bed and had a cable connection installed. The pod came with a 15" HD TV/DVD and mount on the back of the shower wall. We're not bedtime TV folks, nor have we ever had one while camping over the last 35 years, so it won 't get much use unless we are stuck in a real gullywasher for a couple of nights!

So I checked...no 12v outlet near the TV.  It's right on top of the radio though, so I know 12v is around there somewhere close....

My 2011 176T came with a 19" HDTV that is 12vdc native. The radio/DVD player is also 12vdc and accepts a 2GB flash drive which will play *.avi, *.mp3 and such. We watch TV all the time without hookups and I have never had a battery issue (single stock battery). I did have to splice into the antanae amp to hookup the 12vdc plug in though. Yep everything but the micro and AC can be run anytime.
I can't even begin to describe it.... you would just have to see for yourself....

As far as I know the 176's have always been this way. It was one of my deciding factors. I got it in 2010.

Can you guys provide brand names and model numbers of the 12-volt native HDTV's that came with your R-Pod?  I'm looking to swap-out this AC-only one that I have with something that will run on DC or AC of my choosing.
