TB:
If you look at the back of the unit, where the 110 adapter plugs in, you'll see that the input is 12 volt. I took the 110 cord to an electronics store and bought a plug. It cost less than a dollar. Attached it to the cabin light circuit. I am keeping the original cords "just in case", but it seems that I will not need them. Both TVs work just fine, and have been for months. Charger, batteries, alternator, it works just fine. My experience: If you tell anyone you are going to do anything differently than everyone else does, they will say, "Don't do it". Don't tell anyone. Jim TB wrote: Jim After the positive response i bought a Sharp 13". Although the unit is 12 volt , the only power source supplied is a 120AC to 12v DC adaptor. It would be better to run direct from 12v rather than through an inverter. How do you do it? Do you know if Sharp supply a 12v direct cord. I don't want to just cut the cable after the transformer in case it HAS to be 12v and won't tolerate say 14v as the sytem will be when charging.

They should be able to put up with some motion, as the technology is the same for lap top screens. I don't worry about them holding up. My feedback is all good.
