I wish I could have saved you a hundred dollars. See my post on how to convert your TV for under $20 bucks and it takes 8 minutes. If you go to search (little magnifying glass on top of page) and type in: TV 12 volt, you can see my suggestion.]]> Thu, 27 Jul 2017 16:38:23 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9883&PID=97038#97038 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9883&PID=97037#97037 Author: Weekend Warrior

Hello, I posted a simple 10 minute do it yourself lesson on how to convert your TV to DC as well as charging 2 phones via a USB connection. Don't buy a 12 volt TV. You can convert yours for under $20 bucks. If you go up to the search button (little magnifying glass) and type in: TV 12 volts, you'll see my idea. Hope it works for you.

300W pure sine wave inverter, $33.

Option 1 is probably the least expensive way to go. Those 12V models are expensive.
