Ipad is much bigger and better.
I took the tv out of the camper. If we go on a longer trip, I will take an old laptop to watch DVDs and stop at a RedBox and get some movies wherever we are ($1 a night). It's the most efficient, economical way I could think of to do it.
Congrats on being retired. Enjoy your travels.
