converting composite video to vga is not a trvial task.  Going from vga to rca is easier.  However this home product https://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=2011&sku=40227 will do it you will have to rig up a power converter for it and the lcd though.  And in the end it may be cheaper and easier to just use a mobile unit.
