Aerial

Post by Eloise »

Hi, what's the best aerial for use in a t25? What have people found that's easy to use and works as well?

Thanks.

I use an Avtex comes with amplifier works well.

I bang a windbreak pole in and that has a tent pole attached with cable ties, the aerial fits on top so it's high up, height can be adjusted by adding or removing pole sections.

Thanks for that. I have been looking at those. Most people recommend them. Does it work lower down like if you used the suction mount on the side of the van?

As with any aerial where it works depends very much on how close you are to a transmitter, it's direction and the terrain.

I can rotate mine also which you probably can't do if stuck to a window, but mome important is height.

It's why your tv aerial is on your roof at home

Yes, bear in mind you have to remove these aerials to drive so you need to be able to reach it :ok
