ReplyDeleteThanks, Kim! Your comment reminded me to come update the list..
DeleteRef: 12v TV/dvd player?
ReplyDeleteWe found a Samsung 24" Class 1080p LED HDTV T24C550ND at Costco for $149.00 . It's technically 14 volts but works fine on 12v. Look for a model with a 110 vac brick power adapter that outputs 14 vdc (like a computer power brick). Then, just hard wire to the 12v system on the boat. Most of the TVs are going this way now because they only need to change the plug when shipping to all the various countries and meeting the numerous power requirements.
We have yet to find a 12v DVD but opted for a 110vac model. We can run it off a small $40 inverter (the power requirement is low). We have the capability of streaming netflix and pandora via the DVD player when we are able to get a wi-fi signal.

ReplyDeleteOn a more serious note, what are you guys thinking about in terms of watermakers? Have you started investigating yet? It's one of the things on our list of things to buy, but we may defer to the purchase for another year give the cost.
We ARE investigating. But like most technical things, things are constantly changing and improving. There's at least one brand out there that is modular - which would be great for us, since we don't really have large spaces available to put a large system. We are also investigating some units that run off of the engine/alternator (or something like that...) But it's a lot like sewing machine research - it all runs together after a while! And since we won't be installing one for about a year, we're not really focused. We keep reading fabulous things about Cruise RO. I can't think of any other name brands off the top of my head. I'll be sure and do a post or two on it when it gets closer to time to make a final decision.
DeleteI came across your Blog and thought you may be interested in an item I brought on my last Cruise. :) I've been on a few cruises and it had all the items I needed. Here's the Link: Hope you like it!!
