Went on a shakedown trip at the weekend in my New Lotus van, all went well and i am very happy, but the reason for the blog is we watched the Grand final on the tele in the van, and  good vanning friends were wrapped in the 12 volt tele and want to get one for their van, They are looking at a 'kogan' 22'' TV/DVD COMBO Lcd screen $249.00.

Ha anyone had any experience with the Kogan brand ?? any feedback appreciated good or bad  thanks  dazren

When up in Kumbia at the beginning of the year I met a couple who had a small 12 volt Tv, have no idea what brand but they said they paid $100 at WOW.
As soon as I find a WOW I will be looking for one for myself. It went really well, they were very pleased with it.

Haven't ypu seen the WOW shops Ma? they are an electrical / electronic shop, Bright red and blue exterior. All the main towns here in Vic have them and I presume as this was in Qld where I met this couple that other states have them too.

Never heard of WOW in Rocky. Marj.   I bought a small AWA 240/12 Volt TV at Big W a few years ago, for around $300.

That'll be obselete soon, but I can still use it to watch DVD's.  About a 10 inch screen.

The Kogans appear to be the best deal around at the moment.   Just Google them.

Cheers,

Sheba.

ALL tv screens come from two manufacturers. Kogan just buys direct and badges them with their name, they are cheaper because they don't have all the expenses that big name brands have.

Kogan LED TVs, with inbuilt DVD, are very popular with Caravaners and are often mentioned positively on many Caravan related forums.

There was a recent thread http://thegreynomads.activeboard.com/t44815879/12-volt-tvs/

HW if you would like to wait until Greens Lake, I will demonstrate the one I have. 19" Kugan. Its 12v so if there is reception out there should work quite well if not I have some CD's. Son fitted it for me and it is so much better than the 240v one that came with the van. Not a big power drain either.

HW

Bear in mind that you need to purchase the 12v lead, which adds another around $17 to the cost of the TV.

A same size LED TV uses less power than the LCD, and arguably is a better picture (hope I don't start something).

Although you may pay a little more for the LED TV, 12v consumption is a consideration when on the road.

Keep your eye on their Friday specials.

 Yes, if you register with Kogan(I think you said you did) you will get an e-mail around Thursday each week with information on their Friday specials.

 HW, don't forget the shipping charge is on top of that price, they are sometims on eBay and perhaps a little bit cheaper, but you have to bid on them (I think)

I've just put a bid on a kogun 16 inch on ebay. $21.00 so far and only 2 hrs to go. I don't think it has a dvd but has a PVR whatever that is. I have my laptop for DVDs anyway. Delivery $34.50

you may need to purchase a flash drive/mem stick they do specify certain makes and I think from my memory you need to format it a certain way, but that will all be in the instructions
