This may be a silly question, but is it air cooled?

Are you gonna be insulation any of the walls or the floor. Wife wants to know where the tv came from. She reckons it will come in useful when im out on my bike and shes stuck on the campsite with the dogs.

yeah im gonna insulate the panels
the tv is actually out of a hot tub that my mate bought and couldnt stop it leaking so he smashed it up :?
its a 12v tv you can pick them up off of ebay for about £20 upwards but instead of using a dvd player im using a usb tv card reader so i can transfer video files off of the pc on to a usb stick and play them on the tv also no jumping or skipping whilst in travel as you get on dvd players there £25 but if you want to run them off of your 12v you need to get a 12v to 5v converter instead of using the 240v to 5v and there just £3 from the land of plastic (china)
u can run an ariel off of the tv too but ive just opted for the player
im also putting in a jack plug on each side of the van in the rear so the kids can plug in there head phones and we dont get bugged by the noises from what ever there watching :ok
hope this bit of info helps anyone out there that wants to fit a tv on the cheap
