My favorite feature is the 6" I took out of tongue box to allow me to strech out fully without having to lengthen the body. Here it is under construction:

9" flip down (need to up grade it to about a 15" flip down screen)
DVD player
VCR player
AM/FM stereo with four 6”, 3 stage speakers

Do you have a link to where you got it as the only ones that I found were for an Iphone
I see on the iPhone ones that it says it has a mini HDMI input port. That should allow most laptops and computers with digital video outputs to drive it. It looks interesting. At night you should be able to take it outside and have group movies.

It has a ton of connections. It has a USB port for streaming from a PC. It also has an onboard media player so it will play movies from USB drives as well as an internal 32 gB SD card. It also has a component connection for old DVD players. I use it as a pass through device using the HDMI port and a WD TV Live with a USB hard drive.

Here's a review from YoutTube

I am in the process of getting my Optoma PK102 micro projector installed - not nearly as nice as yours, but suitable for night time movies inside. After spending the weekend in ours I found my favorite feature was my collapsible drink holder for my cocktail!

For those of you with projectors in your trailers, don't you worry about the light being damaged with it bouncing around in your trailer? I worry about mine when I move it from where I store it to the kitchen table so we can have a movie night? Also doesn't the projector make the trailer uncomfortably warm inside?

Maybe yours uses a less sensitive bulb then mine or at least a cheaper bulb. I think when looked a bulb was about $300 for mine. Or maybe the guy I bought mine from overstated just how sensitive the bulb was.

The front shelf. Holds tissues, glasses, books, etc. Nice to have a spot to put things when you go to sleep.

Mine has an LED source with a 30,000 hour lamp life. But I still plan to pack it away nicely during travel.
