    12v or 240v? Just buy whatever you fancy in the shops. 22"? I hope you've got plenty of room for it.Cool

    Ours is 22".  It's a normal TV - we got it from Tesco, but it is a mains TV.   It doesn't make much difference for us - we always use EHU.

    We were lucky, Aldi had a 12/230 volt tv/DVD for sale at £100 with a 3 year warranty. Can't fault it. Don't know when they will have this offer again I am afraid.

    Ours is a combo.  Useful for when there is no signal or for when you fancy a film etc.

    We decided on the Avtex 21.5 inch Combi which is 12/230v Apart from an excellent picture it has the advantage, to us, of having a built in satelite reciever which works seamlessly with our automatic dish. If you don't need the 12v or the combi/satellite
    tuner aspect I would be inclined to look for something like
    this      We had a slightly smaller Samsung in a previous caravan and are still using it at home.

    If  you are like us. ie wife insists we go to a site where there is  a power station on site

    Then a good quality set  from the likes of Curry's rtc  with freesat and free view .will more then suffice

    Or buy a 12 v to 250 Volt, 250w inverter from say Maplins

    Once you have an inverter  you don't have  to limit  yourself to a small range of expensive  small televisions.  with a mediocre picture  If you have spare TV you could even use that 

    We have a 27 inch Full HD TV, easily fits inside our Caravan

    We don't have Sky so that is not an issue for us but one reason for having a TV with built in Freesat FTA satellite receiver is that it is a neat solution as you have no other gubbins to contend with. Unlike the situation when we had a separate receiver.

    I agree with David about the Samsung 22" smart tv except the stand is a strange design which did not allow me to balance the TV on top of a Humax pvr. Managed to replace it with a monitor stand that solved the problem.

    We bought a Finlux TV/DVD from either ebay or amazon.  It works on either 240v or 12v and has served us well for 18months.  Sound and Picture are both acceptable and price was much better than caravan specific stores.  I think we paid about £120 but it my
    be slightly smaller than 22 inch I cannot remember.

    We have a Cello tv built in freeview/freesat/Irish freeview/DVD its 12/240v comes in various sizes it also has a USB port. 

    We are currently in Salamanca Spain and getting some British channels on freesat with an 85cm dish, no BBC/ITV  of course.

    Pretty much the same TV as Avtex but cheaperWink

    I've had both, the Cello is a very poor second to the Avtex in sound and picture quality. The old saying you get what you pay for is invariably true.

    ..Never had an Avtex, but read lots of reviews and looked at them at the shows, we have no complaints with the cello.

    We have a Panasonic which came from Tesco but more or less anything you like will work. Do keep the packaging though as this helps protect the set when travelling.

    We bought this one

    http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4296511.htm

    it was on special for £99 a couple of weeks back so keep an eye out. For a bush ive been impressed with the screen, very nice and ideal for a caravan.

    We have found that you sometimes have to record the programmes you want using the TV you intend to play them back on if that makes any sense. We record lots on a portable hard drive using our Cello, we can play them back on our Tesco one and visa versa but
    they are a differant file format, if we use a memory stick they don't always work between the 2 TV's
