We just removed our 19" analog TV from over the drivers head. Unfortunately this TV was also our screen for the back up camera, channel "3". We are remodeling our coach and the TV is going elsewhere. My dilemma is how best to get the back up camera screen functional again.

Should I:

1. Add a small 8-9 inch screen that will receive an analog signal, and use a netbook (small) for the VMSpc and Co-Pilot. Presently we have an old laptop on the dash running VMSpc and Co-Pilot.

or
2. To keep clutter down get a laptop, add the USB WinTV-HVR-950Q Product Overview
adapter for TV reception (back-up camera) and run all other programs at the same time, having only a laptop.

Your recommendations will be greatly appreciated, as I am as far from a tech guru as I can get.

I like multiple screens for the separate functions, but it's mostly a matter of preference, I think. I just don't like to switch back and forth when I want to view different info. Plus it's nice to have the back-up camera screen visible all the time.
