Get a laptop computer, such as an Apple Powerbook or iBook. $1800 will
get you a base model which should be able to play DVD's will have a
bigger screen (12 inches) than a mounted system, better resolution and
is more easily transported. PC Laptops (low to mid range) are probably
similar. You can power the laptop off a convertor from the cigarette
lighter. Plus you can also put games on it to give a different pace
from the movies...

Denver to Las Vegas in one day is possible, I think.  I did Montrose to
the California line (past Las Vegas) in one day..and I wasn't trying to
make it as fast as I could. But it will be a LONG day (and certainly
isn't possible right now with the blizzard they've got...but which will
probably be cleared up by May...)
