    My favorite part of camping/van videos is the cooking parts. I love that in your videos the cooking portion is more fleshed out and you show almost everything. Being disabled its really fun to watch people like you go out and camp. Hopefully one day I get better and can do normal people stuff again like I did a few years ago.
    Also with the TV, a lot of people wouldn't buy a 720p TV but honestly I think its fine. I grew up in the early 2000s and 720p then feels like what 4k is now.

    Hey Mike how you doing? You look awesome. That makes my heart happy. I’ve been praying. I got surgery coming up soon for my lungs. Yes I’m a little scared cause they are messing with my breathing machine. But I anticipate to get better so this is the way to do it. I’m just glad that you are getting better everyday. I care a lot about you. I care for the Mrs and for you.

    Whatever you call it 😆 🤣 😂 😹
    The Van just looks so comfy and cozy.
    Aww, don't take the tv back. What I did for a summer in my RV was I had my TV and a small dvd player, and I watched movies that I collected over the years wasn't bad.
    I just didn't want to pay for portable internet lol.
    But it worked the only time I watched it was before bed.
    But I'm sure you'll figure something out.
    Thank you for sharing your awesome adventures and for all the hard work and time you put into your videos.
    KEEP ADVENTURING

    You can make any mount work with a little modifications. Hell I use picture wire, washers and screws to mount tvs. And use the rubber door stoppers to give space. Works fantastic and saves a couple $100. Think outside of the box.

    The scan for channels would get quite a few local channels, as I think he's near a major city (Lincoln?), but there has to be some sort of an antenna going into the coaxial input on the back. You get the most channels with an amplified rooftop-type antenna (but of course he's not going to do that), almost as many without the amplifier, and then some channels, not all, with unamplified rabbit ears. You have to scan for channels, of course, in the Menu.

    Quady: Just run an HDMI cable from your computer to one of the HDMI inputs on the tv, select that HDMI with your remote, and play something on your computer. I use a tv (Vizio, in fact) as my upstairs computer monitor, works fine. I do have to use the tv's Menu to turn off the tv's sound, as I instead get better sound by plugging computer speakers into the computer. I forget if there are any video settings, either in the Vizio Menu or Windows Settings, but if you get any funky results, go looking in those places.

    Pull up whatever you want to watch on your phone, tap the screen that it will play on and there should be a little screen icon that you can tap on and it will automatically connect via Bluetooth to the closest TV and Will just automatically when you select it

    not sure if you will see this but it does look like your tv is setup for a monitor mount like you were saying, could only see the back of it for a second but it does appear to have the holes for the mounts, if i recall they are called "vesa mounts"

    I had to download a casting app on my phone to connect to my tv, as Smart View didnt recognise my tv. I just figured you needed either mobile data or wifi connection, and that would connect to the tv, didnt realise the tv itself also needed to be connected to the same network 🙈 Hope you get it working 🙏

    Nice little peaceful campsite. The steak looked amazing. I could almost taste it from the sizzle and smoke. Hopefully you get the tv figured out
