using mid to upper mid level equipment, that is a very hefty profit, or
they are recommending equipment that you would never note the quality
differences in in a vanagon.  high end high quality speakers are a
waste in the vanagon and most other vehicles.  high end front ends that
sing and dance and do thirty variations on everything are fancy
trinkets that scream out "steal me".  LCD in my opinion is way to
expensive for camping.  They also do not view to well from angles.
just saw a  12v dvd and one of the better 12v tv at a target for under
400 dollars for both.  for me my laptop runs with an external dvd and
will play the sound direct or through an external speaker set, or the
power amp on the road (for the back seat riders)
