Televison 12vdc/120vac operation

[Roadmeister]

Hi folks,

I couldn't find an answer in my A/S manuals so I'll ask here if you don't mind. I have a 2005 Safari 25'SS with the audio upgrade package. Last week we were dry camping at Sequoia N.P. and I tried to play a DVD for the kids but the TV wouldn't come on, although the DVD audio was playing through the speakers.

When I returned home and plugged my trailer into a 120v outlet the TV powers up fine. I looked again last night and the TV is a 12v unit (Panasonic Aquos).

Will the TV in fact operate on 12 volts from the batteries only? Is there something wrong with my wiring that I should have rectified before the warranty is up?

Thanks all for your help.

Erik
