Here's the deal.

As some of you know, I recently bought a used motorhome.

We just took it on a 'shake down' trip to Cincinnati, and I was using an Aspire One netbook with MS Streets & Trips installed on it for my GPSS.

I also have a wireless camera system that I will be using for a backup camera as soon as I get it modded to wire directly into the 12v system.

Now, sitting the lappy on the dash worked 'OK', but it was bouncing around a lot more than I was comfy with. Especially since it still had the HDD in it. I do have an SSD for it, but haven't installed it yet.

Anyway, I got to thinking, and it occurred to me that LCDs don't REALLY run on 110/120v. They use a transformed to drop the 110 to ??v DC.

Does anyone here know just what the voltage is, and are any of them 12v? If so I wouldn't mind getting something like a 15" or so monitor, and modding it to mount on the dash, and wiring it directly to my 12v Coach system.

I've got an older E-Machines 15" that runs on 12V...... it's locked at 800X600 though. But they do exist.
