Hi. I can't think of a better place to ask about this than here...When I visit, he complains that he doesn't know what is going on in the outside world, so I think a portable television would be the best thing.
My dad is old and is now in hospital as he has failing memory and was found wondering around and not remembering where he lives. He has a Samsung Tab 8A but the wifi reception in his ward is poor and he doesn't really remember how to use it anyway.
There seems to be quite a lot to choose from on Amazon and eBay. This seems to be the sort of thing possibly?

Want to get one with remote, as that's what he will be comfortable using. Anything else I should be thinking about? Has anybody got any experience buying one of these for their camper vans?

I'd be concerned about lack of aerial signal deep in a building with a small aerial. How far are you from the local transmitter, and is the room facing the right way?
But I suppose you could always get one, try it, and return if it didn't work out.
[in terms of 'better places', you could also try posting to newsgroup uk.tech.digital-tv Might be worth a try in case anyone there has any more experience]

Just noticed that this one doesn't seem to come with the pictured sturdy-looking stand or the aerial, so I am at square one again..

FWIW I'd persevere with the tablet, or see what offering the hospital has (some extortionate pay-to-view Freeview no doubt, if at all).
Can't advise on a telly, but after much research I chose this DAB radio for an
elderly and easily confused friend, with great success. It's remarkably easy to use (presets for DAB and FM) and the sound quality is very good indeed. https://amzn.to/3fImFC1
