I've got a rather cheap Sanyo 19" flatscreen (Sanyo DP19648) HD TV. I think it was about $150 or $200 at Walmart. It's been in the van for two years.

We have 2 flat screens in the truck, a 17" and a 23", and they both work well.

In front so driver can watch football while co-driver is in bunk watching a movie. 17" easy to conceal under dash.

Just your run of the mill 22" flat screen HD TV with a built in dvd player....it is hard mounted to a piece of 3/4 plywood that is mounted on the wall with 2 pieces of metal angle material...was mounted on a piece of 1/4 inch steel plate and that was mounted to the side wall supports of my old cargo....its about 3 yrs old and works great...

Alright.. I gotta ask..

why?

Upper and lower bunk?

You have to understand the DD's a little better. I have seen the time when they were both logged into a chat room, chatting with other members..and to each other..in the chat room... both of them in the truck :D

1 for when you are sitting up and 'putering, and 1 for when you are laying in bed.

Making his short answer long.......the tv that comes with the truck is over the countertop , close to the sink. You can see this tv if you're sleeping with your head on the driver's side of the truck. When we bought the truck, we decided we would try reversing that and sleeping with our heads on the passenger side of the bed so we installed the larger tv on the driver's side of the bunk. Both tv's play the same show, nothing is viewable to the driver and the puppies don't need a tv in the top bunk.

Two computers in the truck isnt odd at all. Communicating to each other in a chat room while rubbing elbows....well that' s a little questionable :D But, hey it was fun!

Yeah...I know...Im a brat :D

How does people watch tv on the road. Do you have an antenna that receives local channels or what.

Chris, all you need is a digital antenna... it receives channels just like the old rabbit ears antennas. I have a cheap little digital TV I got for Christmas.... came with a magnetic antenna. I pop the antenna on the roof, hit scan, and it finds local channels.
