tv aerial

[geordiehedley]

Hi all,
We've recently been converted to motor caravaning and have bought a TV for the dark winter nights. The problem is how do I choose an aerial? I would prefer an indoor type aerial as I do not want to drill holes in the coach roof but as we spend our weekends in the Scottish Highlands would an indoor aerial be good enough or do I have to use a full size aerial? Can anyone recommend a good aerial? I would appreciate any help as the manufacturer's technical details are double Dutch to me.

Hi John

I like your Betsy, a new Romahome model to me.

There is a thread on the forum abt aerials

You don't need to drill holes for an outside aerial if you use a mast. A sticky backed plate can be fixed to the m/home if you want to support the mast that way. The aerial manufacturers site is

Aerials that are suitable


I try one of these first, the aerial bit can be unplugged and the unit used as a preamp. If the TV pic is no good I put the outside aerial up.

They are available on this site

Hope this helps

OR You could do as i am going to do, fit a MAXVIEW COMPACT HIGH GAIN ARIAL UHF DIGITAL PICK UP.
STICK THE CLAMP ON AND WHEN YOU NEED IT THE ARIAL POLE GOES INTO THE CLAMP.

We got an ariel from a camping shop that has big suckers on it.It just sticks on the side or roof no need for any drilling!! We got it for our caravan as we were at Haggerston Castle and our ariel broke. The signal was terrible on my parents TV but our new one was fantastic and we got all the digital channels so we will also use it on the campervan.
