RV Friendly Computers
Computers are useful for everything. But not all computers work well in an RV.
Most computers run off 500-1200 watts of power. This is very hard for a solar system to handle, unless you have a giant system and lots of sunshine. It is much easier to simply buy a more efficient computer instead.
Below are my favorite options for using a computer in a vehicle:

Most efficient desktop I have ever found. The power supply is rated to 70 watts. I edit videos and can do absolutely everything, at incredible speeds. Cannot recommend this more. Best RV computer ever.
It is expensive, so be sure to bolt to to the rv somehow, and use a cable lock.

This is a step down from the one above, but absolutely awesome. Has a I5 instead of a I7 processor. Also lacks a solid state drive, but if you are using basic programs, and not editing videos such as I, then this computer is more than enough.

Tablets: The Official Computer for Vehicle Nomads
99% of my "internet time" is on this tablet. It can connect to wifi really far away, and it sips electricity. Best way to live in a rv and enjoy internet.
I have had 3 of these. I cannot live without it. I can even edit gopro videos and write documents. I can do almost everything a computer can do, on this little tablet.

My Favorite LED Monitor
You need an LED monitor if you buy a desktop computer above. Be sure to note the power consumption. This monitor uses about 40 watts max. This is also the highest rated monitor in its class on amazon.com.
Be sure to measure the size of monitor or TV that you plan to use in your rv. If it is too big, it will take up a lot of room. (obviously, but you need to get out the tape measure. Do not guess what size it will probably be).
Also find a way to secure it to a stand, so that it doesnt move around while driving. I have a bolt mounted stand on mine, that bolts to my desk.
