Since I am at a seasonnal campground with cable tv I installed a 24 inches dynex tv from best buy
Nice upgrade!!!!
What voltage is it?
It's 12v but I haven't changed the plug to a 12v one but would like to change it because it's a big block and it's using one of my 110v plug and I don't have much and there is a 12v plug next to it so would prefer to use it. Do you have any suggestion on where I could get a 12v plug for it?
If I understand you, it's a large 110V/12V transformer that plugs directly into a 110V receptacle?

Yes it is
How is the sound? I hate the speakers on the TV that came with my 21BHS. I looked for a small sound bar to place under the TV, but they are all VERY expensive for what I want. I do not have the sound system in the camper.

I found that the sound is good, would probably be better with a sound bar but it's good enough to not need one, so far it's good. I wonder if I use it with the AC on if I can put it loud enough, will have to try that
We use headsets with the TV if operating the AC and no head sets if AC not operating.
Purchased a couple 12V power plug/cables and keep in the CampLite. The one on the right purchased on Ebay is for the laptop and the one on the left from WalMart has several different plug adapters:

Ok so I'll need one that has multiple plug adapters in order to get the good one that fit the TV. Actually I think I got one at home I was using for something else long time ago, I'll check for it and try it!
Sometimes the 12V supply wire is hard wired into the TV. I just cut it off behind the brick and splice an extension and cigarette lighter adapter. Or in a recent case, I just hard wired it into the RVs DC behind the cigarette lighter socket. You never need to remove it and it leaves the cigarette lighter socket open.

I have to have a set of everything in the camper or I'm always forgetting something if I need use at home, too. ;)

Sounds like best way to power the TV!
Installed a permanent 110V TV in our CampLite. Use a portable WX radio & 12V DVD player when we don't have 110V. If we need to replace the TV, will install a 12V next time.
