TV aerial

Post by PC52 »

I know some do and some don't have TV, but we do.
Got a freeview setup and just wondering what sort of aerial you are all using.
Our roof is a westy pop top, Oh and were are you mounting it?

I haven't got a TV or an aerial but I seem to remember reading a post on here from someone who didn't mount their aeriel when in use but just bungs it inside the hightop. If they can do that I'd have thought you could bung yours in the pop-top. :?

But how would you fix it on if you don't have one of those roof rack thingys, could it clamp onto the gutter rail or would you need a mast?

Sell your van and buy one with a roof rack :lol:

You can get a mast that spikes into the ground. or a clamp you can fit a mast to. I would imagine with a bit of fiddling you could come up with something

Hi,
I have my aerial mounted on a short telescopic pole, approx 48", fixed to the gutter with a Grade uni-bracket. The brackets are about £10. Takes all of 2 mins to set up. You can swivel aerial/pole from cab window.
