Brand new travel trailer owner and looking to purchase a TV and mount. We may rent the trailer and I wanted to know if there are any suggestions such a roku tv or using an Amazon firestick. Any suggestions or insights are appreciated.

Answer - pretty much every TV made has USB inputs to which you can connect a Roku, Firestick, Chromecast, AppleTV etc, etc.

Just find the size TV that fits the space and shop. As far as brands, really they're all the same.


So why did he bring it up....asking for a friend. 🙂

My mailman rents his trailer out A LOT.
He thinks is great because it’s paying the payment. I asked him about wear and tear and he replied “hmm never thought about that.”

I bought my camper’s because I don’t like sleeping in some else’s bed….

I told him he owns a REAL motel……

x3 don't fall for the idea that it can make money and is available to you whenever you need it. Maintenance on a TT is non stop. each trip I have notes in my book of items that need attention. Sometimes as simple as just tighten or adjust. Renters do not care regardless of what you have in writing. Maybe post a thread asking others.." ever rent out your trailer" that would be amusing.
Personally, I would not loan or rent out my equipment even to people I know much less strangers.

My employer doesn't like me to disconnected and sends a mobile hotspot with me when I travel. I use it for work and to stream to a smart tv. Works good.

Let the renter get his own tv.

X2 Non commercial rentals are marginal at best. IMHO

Install a TV antenna and TV cable connection.

I've had great success with Morryde TV mounts. They're well built and come in all kinds of formats. The only issue I have is they never seem to come with all of the hardware that they should, but a quick phone call to their customer service takes care of that.

As for Roku or a firestick they require wifi and most parks the wifi is poor or weak and won't support streaming. Many park rules say no streaming. We just use DVDs.
