We have a 2007 Yellowstone and changed out the CRT a couple years ago. We chose 120V Vizio LEDs that have held up well. The driver area we flush mounted and added trim to fill the gap (huge void behind the tv). The bedroom was on a wall mounted tv mount (to ceiling).

We lucked out that both the front and rear tv outlets were on the same 120V circuit (as well as the refrigerator, go figure). Just use trial and error to identify your circuit wiring. We chose to add an inverter with an auto transfer switch (Xantrex 8080915 PROwatt SW Auto Transfer Switch) for just that circuit. I had a Black and Decker 750W already and this was an experiment at the time. The 750W can only handle about 6A. The fridge draws too much and when we're boondocking it's on propane anyhow. We just have to make sure the fridge isn't set to Auto or the inverter will cut off. I've never gotten around to upgrading the inverter as our power needs are simple when we boondock. We do pour over for coffee, outdoor propane for most cooking and solar for keeping the 12V charged. Our arrangement would not work for someone with more needs.

We chose the 120V route to avoid specialty equipment. We can easily replace the TVs from any retailer. Note the current draw on whatever you choose. Our front tv (larger) draws ~0.4 amp, the rear ~0.25 amp. We did all the power analysis when we added solar.

If you're lucky, both of yours are also on the same circuit. Easy upgrade if so. Hope it works out for you.
