Do park holidays caravan TV's have an accessible USB or HDMI port to watch your own TV?

I have been to one of their parks before, but forgot to look the last time.

Just for late night, I was hoping to either have a way to connect a USB stick to watch some episodes.

I could get a fire stick, but not sure if their onside Wi-Fi would be good enough to keep a stable connection?

And if they did have an accessible USB port, do they usually have to be a specific format for the TV to read it?

Has anyone else ever try to do this?

Format it as FAT32 and you'll have the best chance of it working.     I personally take an Nvidia Shield away with me, put stuff on a SD Card/USB and watch that using Kodi.

You can do the same with a firestick - you need a special cable that splits the usb power cable so you can plug in a USB stick.

I don’t think there’s a standard type of TV that caravans have. It depends what the owner has chosen to buy to furnish it with.

Contact the park concerned and ask them.

They are unlikely to be smart enough to just run off a flashdrive, but they almost certainly have a HDMI port as pretty much every TV made in the last twenty years has one, how easy it gets to is anyone's guess and I would not bank on it being accessible, but equally you could always just watch off the laptop if it is not accessible.
