We have just purchased an Alba 15" from argos with built in freeview & dvd £100. Not being a rich bloke I cannot afford the proper caravan tv's and being of advancing years I cannot see the sometimes very small screen.
You probably will have problems with your aerial particularly in areas of poor reception (which caravan sites often are.
Argos or Ebay will do a better one which we mount on a pole fixed to the jockey wheel (fittings on ebay)

19" with freeview and built in dvd from morrisons £129 great little tv, also didn't buy a caravan ariel but a normal one for weak signal (just in case) from wilkinsons (about £25), we attach it to a pole to the A frame ....works a treat
I bought a Technica 15" with Freeview & DVD from Tesco (their own brand), because it's lightweight and only to be used with the van. It works very well for a cheapo set, but I would advise as others have, that viewing angles and picture quality can vary greatly with the cheaper sets.
I'd suggest you take your time and choose carefully, viewing the sets from various angles to check the pictures still visible; my set was actually the cheapest, but had far better viewing angles than the dearer one's.

The Kenmark make were recommended on here a while ago. We have one, no problems, and quite happy with it. Have a look at previous posts. Jim.
I can recommend this Kenmark TV too, I bought one from Comet after reading the good reports on here late last summer. Its got built in FreeSat but no DVD player, personally I don't like too many items built in as if one goes it may affect another.
DVD players are cheap as chips anyway, should it fail I can dump it and buy another.
