Is there a TV with built in tuner for car use that does
NOT need to be permanently mounted in the vehicle but
can be moved form vehicle to vehicle?

This would be for use in a car while on driving
vacation but also to be used in very small apartment

There are hundreds of such devices.  They are called "portable televisions".  In
the United States they are available in drugstores, supermarkets, appliance
stores, shopping malls, hardware stores, liquor stores, gas stations, etc.
If your part of the world does not have those kinds of stores, then I don't know
what to tell you.

A 13" CRT!!! type tv!  That is not what I had in mind.
Where I live we have stores called "Radio Shack".

They have several flat LCD tv's that you might like.
We also have "Best Buy" stores but they are high in price and not many people go
there.
Here are some others.  If you don't have stores where you live, maybe you could
mail order?  In the US there might not be any more analog tv after year end.

Put it in the trunk.

You didn't think we were going to help you set it up so you could watch
while driving, did you?

can any reg. tv and the right x-former fill the bill?

you might check with some of these van places that outfit vans with
goodies.
