I’ve just. Bought a portable tv for caravan . It works great off the mains. But not of 12 volts.
I bought a 3pin converter for the 12volts but nothing
I bought a 3pin converter for the 12volts but nothing
An inverter maybe?Its this THREE PIN converter thats making me wonder.
I think what they are doing is plugging the 3 pin 240v mains plug into an adaptor and then plugging that into the 12v 2 pin socket. Doing that the TV is not going to work.It hasnt been qualified yet if the 12v socket is actually live. Thats where I would start. It sounds as if its an older caravan if its using the 2 pin 12v, so its worth checking.
The Cello should have come standard with the 12v lead. Did you buy the TV brand new or second hand. If new go back to the dealer.Thank you for your reply’s reading them I think I need a different power lead for the tv. Like you said the main power lead has a box on it. A transmitter I think .so I need to get 12v powerlead. The problem I have then is in the caravan I have the two pin power plug. And I have only seen the one for a cicarett lighter. And I don’t have a cicarett lighter in caravan. The tv I bought is a cello 16inch with freeview DVD player. I would love two know where I can get a two pin power lead.
