tv's and stuff

so i bought a Interstate 6x10 enclosed cargo trailer from my neighbor that was nicely optioned, plus he built bunks inside of it for camping.. bonus, means i dont have to do it. The purpose of the trailer is to give my kids a place to sleep when we go camping since the wife and I sleep in the truck bed tent. Now I want to add a TV and a DVD player for those rainy days, when there isnt much they can do outside. My question is, this trailer is a flat front, so what size tv's are the norm for these types of campers, what is the best way to mount them? Also where are yall mounting the dvd players? Now the next 2 things are easy to mount, which is a Coffee maker, and espresso/latte maker. Now what size fuse boxes or whatever do i need to buy to get these all to work? What about generator size for times where we cant shore up? The items listed above will be off the shelf normal home items not rv specific.

Most opt for the television with built in DVD, much simpler!
Size? I like an 80 inch screen, but it might be a b=it much for the kids eyes being that close?
For a more normal size screen, depends on where they will be sitting.
A flat wall mount is more secure than an adjustable swing away, but doesn't allow the screen to be tipped in case they are off to the side.
If you run 12/2 with ground, you can run a 20 Amp circuit and be fine with the TV, coffee maker, and a few lights, etc.
Have a pro verify after reviewing your complete plans and install the system for your childrens safety.
Add up the Watt total of all your draws and you'll have an idea how big a generator is needed.

Waiting for "someday" will leave you on your deathbed wondering why you didn't just rearrange your priorities and enjoy the time you had, instead of waiting for a "better" time to come along...
