Motorhome Projector Setup for Live TV and Movies

We thought a lot about whether to have a television on our motorhome. There wasn't an obvious place to put one and, like all things, it was going to add weight and consume payload.
A projector system seemed like a great alternative for roughly the same price.

The screen that flips down in genius, that will work great in my A Class RV.

Hello, I was wondering how the plastic hinges are doing? Did they fall off or mark the ceiling over time? thanks Lou

@SalesTriage Месяц назад

No marks but I did find that when the van got very warm over a prolonged period, that they would fall off, cleanly. In my mind it's a very inexpensive solution to replace

All I want to know is how to plug the projector to the TV...

@2.4inaVan 6 месяцев назад

Hi there. This setup is separate to a TV. We don't have one on our van. The projector itself has apps like Netflix, Disney+, BBC iPlayer etc and projects the image on the piece of card that pulls down from the ceiling. I hope this helps explain better?

Have you tested your Wi-Fi set up and the Google thingy in poor signal areas yet? I am looking for solutions to get the best off grid set up and your videos have been very helpful. Thanks

@2.4inaVan 2 года назад

It's worked really well for us wherever we've been. Very pleased with the setup

Question about the foam board : the sides on the outside > are these made of a kind of cardboard or a kind of plastic? It's a matter of buying the right material :-). The projector is unfortunately no longer available on the Amazon link, but an almost identical model (but different brand) is still for sale for +-300 Euros. Do you remember roughly how much yours one costed you ? This way I can compare whether it is expensive. Thanks in advance

@2.4inaVan 2 года назад

This is the foam board I bought from Hobbycraft: www.hobbycraft.co.uk/white-foam-board-a1/539724-1000. The layers on either side of the foam are card. I bought the Yaufey mini projector in Oct 2020 for £220. It may be available on other sites if it's no longer on Amazon.

@@2.4inaVan My last question (I hope anyway :-/ ): are you satisfied with the quality of the projector : sound, image resolution 854 x 480, Android system (?), ... . Or are there other projectors you can recommend?

@2.4inaVan 2 года назад

@@MM-ul7sb Very pleased with it and we use it nearly every evening when we're on the van - either for the kids or ourselves. As an example you'll see us watching Eurovision with the kids on it when we went to Stonehenge here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h688xqt1Lqc.html

@joop6045 2 года назад

Thx for the video! I have 1 question. Can you still change the screensize if you mount it like this? I see it has a overlap at the sides, but can you make the image smaller and still mount it there or do you have to get the projector closer? Thx and greets from the Netherlands!

@2.4inaVan 2 года назад

Great question. If you use the projector on its own then you can use keystoning to adjust the size. If you plug something in with hdmi then with this model of projector the software doesn't allow it unfortunately.

@joop6045 2 года назад

@@2.4inaVan in my case I would like to use it in my caravan but then instead of a TV. But outside the caravan I would like a bigger screen on the side of the caravan. Just for screen mirror Netflix to the Beamer. So you say I cab make the projection smaller inside and bigger outside, without moving the projector towards the screens or the other way around? 🤔

@2.4inaVan 2 года назад

@@joop6045 yes, but it is for fine tuning, rather than what you've described I think. You would probably need to have the projector further away to get the larger image outside

@joop6045 2 года назад

@@2.4inaVan Thx a lot for you're answer's! Realy helpful. I'm more scared to have a "too" big projection inside the caravan😕

@M.Mchale 2 года назад

Could I connect an xbox or PlayStation to this projector?

@2.4inaVan 2 года назад

It has an HDMI input although the scaling doesn't work with that so you'd need to have the right distance.
