Default 12 volt TV

As part of our home disaster preparedness I have a marine deep cycle battery (planning to get another) that I keep charged. One will run the entire ham radio station and the other will run other volt 12 stuff elsewhere in the house. I can recharge them with jumper cables off the truck in a power outage.

One of those other things will be a small, quality, 12 vdc powered TV. I don't want one with batteries inside it, unless it can be run without them. I can make my own cable to run from the battery, so ideally a 13 inch or so that takes a 12 volt wall wart would be great. It could double as a bedroom TV in the trailer.

It's interesting to me that last time we had a major ice event, and many were without power including me, that all the really useful information was being delivered via TV... and here we are with no power to run the thing!

Any suggestions as to model and brand?
