I’ve attached a stock photo of the camper interior, most mount a TV on the cabinet door above the AC.

I was thinking a small projector screen that I can roll down and the projector would be better.

So currently we don’t have a TV and trying to avoid it to be honest for a less permanent solution, as we’re only in the camper to sleep and avoid rain.



OP:

No idea where to start this search, gonna use it in the camper. Only gonna be projecting about 6’ onto a 40” max screen.

Any recommendations are appreciated.

I would suggest looking into a large panel display instead of a projector for this use profile.

Pros: better picture, more predictable setup (don't have to fool with focusing, keystoning, etc.), less dependent on ambient lighting conditions, works with almost any device that can output HDMI (or be adapted to such).

Cons: can't roll it up for storage, won't scale to greater distance/larger screen area, cost.

Having dealt with many many projectors+screens in conference room situations, I pity the fool who tries to use one of these outdoors, or for occasional use, or with a variety of imaging devices.

The technology of projectors, resolution, compatible sync rates, etc. seems to trail that available in displays. If you are looking for a HD experience, you will find this much easier to achieve in a fixed display. Don't forget, HD is a moving target, what is considered HD now will be seen as dated in a matter of a few years. Of course, this affects all types of display technology, but the rigid displays seem to keep up better than projectors.

Obviously, if you are hoping to project onto the side of a building, to achieve an image of 15' or more, the cost of a fixed display this size might be prohibitive, not to mention the cost of the crew to haul it around, but for the distance/size described in the OP. my feeling is that a monitor display would be far superior.

40" is probably the size of the TV/monitor you have as well. Assuming that's on a local wifi network, just get an app to mirror your iPhone/iPad to that. Can be done with Firestick and (I think) Roku, etc.

If you can also store your content online, other option may be the native browser in a Firestick, etc. to view.

{Sorry for being the guy who didn't answer the question but another one instead. Just thinking you've maybe got better options, and this is how I've solved similar.}

eta - this is the app I use on apple devices to stream over network/TV. To be clear, all this takes is both devices to be on the same network and have a means to install the app on TV. No Apple TV etc. required, but that would likely work. I'm running Firestick on TVs, with this app loaded there.

You probably want to have an Apple TV device which will connect your iPhone to a TV or projector; it will plug in to the TV/projector with an HDMI cable.
That is what you will use for a wireless connection between iPhone and TV (it works on a wi-fi network).
If you need to have a wired connection, you would need a Lightning to HDMI adapter as the best connection; DVI second best.

If you have not bought the TV/monitor yet, all the new TVs have built-in WiFi and browsers.

You can just connect the phone to the TV with a cable or WiFi.

Make sure the new TV has Apple AirPlay supported

We tried one of these for work to simply use for PowerPoint presentations in customer meetings. Unfortunately it was just not bright enough for our use, which was around the distance you ask about. We stopped traveling with it.
