    GPX, model number TVP2K. I don't recal where I bought it from
specifically but it was either Radio Shack, WallMart, K-Mart, or one of the
sporting stores with a camping department. It has the video and audio
"input" jacks and weighs next to nothing. It also takes a lot of C cell
batteries but if you have AC it comes with an AC/DC adapter (doesn't have
the DC cigarete lighter adapter like i thought). This was manufactured
"September 2003" so there's still a chance it's availible somewhere.
Another place to look is a camper/RV dealership.
