TV while driving??

What am I missing, not getting power to TV while driving. House power on, invertor on. Nothing. Would be nice for kids to watch TV while driving. Help! Lol

Thank you for any suggestions. We are newbies, & this forum has already helped immensely.

There is a federally-mandated safety feature which cuts the power to the front television outlet while the vehicle's engine is running, so the driver is not distracted.

{Don't tell anyone... there is a relay attached to the back of the electrical outlet which can be defeated if its control wire is disconnected.}

You have to cut a wire to disable the safety interlock that prevents it from working while the ignition is on. Here's a thread to read: https://www.jaycoowners.com/forums/f...-on-11021.html

In the yellow bar at the top of the forum is a Search function that is your friend; very easy to find the answer to common questions.

NP, common question on MHs. It is easy to defeat this feature.
