I live in 1998 Layton RV. I just bought an LG 32 inch tv 3 months ago. I woke up the other morning and the tv was blinking on and off. When I plugin into the outlet at my daughter's house it doesn't do it. This happens in every outlet in my RV. How can I fix this?

What's the RV power source? If it is a battery and inverter perhaps the charge is running low. In this case the TV load would cause a large voltage drop and some sort of protection would turn off the power but then with power off the load would be low, the voltage would recover, the TV would come back and the cycle would repeat. Just a thought---I've seen similar things in other circumstances.
