movie time
We jettisoned the clunky LCD TV and replaced with a 12 volt HD mini-projector and roll down screen. Takes up almost no room - and you can watch from either side since the material allows the light to pass through. To top it off - we added a Roku (linked to the Starlink mini) and blue-toothed to the rear van speakers!
Movies under the stars more your jam? The projector has an embedded battery. Hang up a sheet, pair the projector with your Chillantix boom box and be the hero of the camp!
