    This is the lightening jack I was talking about to run your tv off your iPhone

    The one I bought from Walmart store was $40. I never bought one online from Walmart but the pair my buddy and I bought off amazon never worked.

    My Walmart One has been exchanged twice in 2 years. Typical I phone cords go bad at the phone area.

    Buy the insurance and they readily exchange the cords

    You need to buy a hdmi cord also.

    That power cord inlet appears to have the same inlet as on my tv and uses the same square on one side and round on the other side power cord.

    Most printers or any 110 unit with a unpluggable cord looks to use the same cord

    Either that tv is 12 volt or there is a inverter hidden in that truck somewhere.

    Look around.

    A tv draws next to nothing voltage. A small $20 inverter from Walmart plugged into a cigarette lighter will power it

    Skip the overpriced truck stop crap. While at Walmart go down into the oven area and find the little liners for your lunchbox cooker you buy from pilot with your points and a roll of foil

    Their like $2 for 5 at Walmart You can cook or warm anything with that thing and survive.

    I used mine to warm up soup and canned stuff if on a tight schedule.

    Peel the label off and throw it in the lunch box down by your feet

    Caught in traffic or pulled over to pee crack the can open and eat. Just have a towel handy to hold it The cans with tabs not needing a can opener are handy.

    That’s called Livin the Dream Kid.

    First trucking job hauling milk for a Wondeful small company out of Michigan I Lucked Upon.

    New Western Star glider with a preemission Detroit and 60 inch sleeper.

    Lived in it for 15 months and pretty much saved every dime I earned.

    Company supplied 3500 watt Cobra inverter and frig/ freezer.

    I supplied the toaster oven ,countertop ice maker ,coffee maker and hot plate

    That’s a 40 inch tv with a 1200 watt surround system I rigged up.

    Best part was removing the passenger seat and adding the reclining gaming chair for $150
