Our top 4 Cello 12V Traveller TVs
Cello 19″ Traveller Smart TV
The most compact option in the range, easy to mount in a tight caravan or campervan without dominating the space, while still running smoothly on 12V.
Cello 22″ Traveller Smart TV
The sweet spot for most family motorhomes: enough screen for evening viewing, still light and efficient enough not to trouble a modest solar setup.
Cello 24″ Traveller Smart TV
A step up for larger motorhomes and coachbuilts with more wall space, without losing the low-power efficiency that makes the range work off-grid.
Cello 32″ Traveller Smart TV
For static caravans or larger RVs where mains hook-up is the norm, this gives a proper big-screen experience while still offering 12V running when needed.

How to choose the right Cello 12V TV
Screen size: matching the TV to your van
Cello’s Traveller range covers everything from a compact 16″ up to a 43″ set, but for most caravans and campervans the 19″ to 24″ models hit the right balance between a comfortable evening’s viewing and not overwhelming a small living space. If you’re mostly parked on serviced pitches with more wall space, a 32″ model is worth considering.
Why 12V matters on the road
A standard mains TV run through an inverter wastes power converting 12V battery current up to 240V and back down again inside the set. Cello’s Traveller TVs run natively on 12V, which means less battery drain and longer viewing time between charges, particularly useful if you’re relying on a leisure battery rather than a hook-up.
Freeview, satellite and streaming
Every model in the range includes a built-in Freeview T2 HD tuner alongside a satellite tuner, so you can pick up free-to-air channels whether you’re near a transmitter or relying on a dish. Some models also support popular streaming apps where a Wi-Fi connection is available.
HDMI, USB and gaming on the road
HDMI inputs make it easy to plug in a games console or streaming stick, while the USB port lets you play back downloaded media or record digital channels directly, handy for evenings parked up somewhere with no signal at all.
Running it from solar
Because the Traveller range is designed around 12V, it plays nicely with a modest solar setup. A 30W or 40W panel is generally enough to keep a TV like this topped up alongside your other low-draw appliances, without needing to build out a full solar system.
Frequently asked questions
Are Cello Traveller TVs different from the standard Cello range?
Yes. The Traveller range is built specifically for life on the road, with a stabilised 12V supply, a wider viewing angle, and a built-in satellite tuner as standard, features the standard home Cello TVs don’t include.
Can I run a Cello 12V TV directly from a solar panel?
Yes. The Traveller range is designed to run efficiently on 12V, so a 30W or 40W solar panel feeding your leisure battery is generally enough to keep it powered without needing a dedicated solar system.
Do Cello Traveller TVs support streaming apps?
Many of the smart models in the range support popular streaming apps when connected to Wi-Fi, alongside their built-in Freeview and satellite tuners for free-to-air viewing when you’re off-grid.
What screen size should I choose for my caravan or motorhome?
For most caravans and campervans, a 19″ to 24″ screen offers the best balance of comfortable viewing without overwhelming the space. Larger motorhomes or static pitches with more wall space can comfortably take a 32″ model.
