A couple weeks ago we camped for the maiden voyage of the year.  Tried to use the DVR and the image wall all warbled, but we had sound.

Now, I'm preparing for another trip, and tried out the TV again, and it will not power on, on battery power.

Lights/slide/water pump all working.

This is a few year old RPOD 179.

Any ideas?

That's because it is 120v, and the battery doesn't power it.

I was watching videos online about the Jensen working on 12V, must be a different model?

Jensen makes a 12V TV, but it wasn't on the 2016 models at least. I don't know whether it was available in prior years. You can always add a small 120V inverter to power the TV. The 19" Jensen that was in our 179 was rated at 17W.

Some do.. in fact the one in our Lance does. But I don't remember a Pod being delivered with a 12v tv. Look at where it plugs in.. 12v plug, or 120v plug?

EDIT, I take that back... over the years, I think there have been a couple owners who bought new pods with a 12v tv, I don't know for sure if FR put them in or the dealer, but it isn't standard to have one.
