John and Debbie Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Hi all, I read about a DC TV being available for RV's. I thought the TV in the Oliver ran off AC. Can anyone here confirm? TIA.

Moderators topgun2 Posted October 13, 2022 Moderators Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) The TV in the Oliver runs off DC - 12 volt. At least up to the 2020 models.

Bill So it's just the convection microwave and A/C that require AC? John and Debbie, Beaverton, Oregon, 2017 Ford Expedition EL 4x4 3.5 liter Ecoboost, with heavy duty tow package.

Moderators topgun2 Posted October 13, 2022 Moderators Share Posted October 13, 2022 Yes - unless you have something else plugged into one of the ac outlets. 2023 Ford F150 Lariat 3.5EB FX4 Max Towing, Max Payload, 2016 Oliver Elite II - Hull #117 "Twist" Near Asheville, NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph and Dud B Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 The new units have AC powered smart TVs. They work pretty well, too. We're able to stream lots of content connected to a hotspot on a phone. 1 3 Stephanie and Dudley from CT. 2022 LE2, Hull #1150: Eggcelsior. Tow vehicle: 2016 GMC Sierra 6.0 gas dually 4x4.

I have edited my post above to reflect the change in the 2020 models. 1 2023 Ford F150 Lariat 3.5EB FX4 Max Towing, Max Payload, 2016 Oliver Elite II - Hull #117 "Twist" Near Asheville, NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I use the Google Chromecast at home for streaming, so I got one for the Ollie, plugged it into the Visio HDMI slot, and it works like a charm. I turn on the hotspot on my android phone, which allows the television to connect, then stream whatever I want. I have the lithiums and am able to power the television, microwave and air conditioner off the batteries (not at the same time!). 3 2021 Elite II #841, 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4, 3.0 diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
