TV antenna on camper trailer

This question reminds me of something funny.

The most common 1st question asked at Cooinda, (Yellow Water) is which direction should we point our antenna.

When in a World Heritage Listed N.P. Kakadu you would think the 1st question would be, what attraction are best to see and visit.

Any way can't help you on this one.

Cheers Steve.

Hi kimprado

I bought one of these from Jaycar Electronics and it is brilliant!!!!!!! I bought a flat panel telly too and used them at Waterloo in S.A on the side of a low hill - miles from anywhere - look it up on Googlearth. The reception was:

digital quality on 9
very very good on 7
Excellent on 10
poor on ABC (2)

Can't recommend it enough - I put mine on top of some demountable gazebo legs that I can take apart and put in the car easilly - I then lashed it to the front of the car/bull bar to it about 9ft in the air. You have to connect 12v DC to it but this is no problem obviously - it draws a very small current. It also comes with a very long antenna lead too. It's weatherproof.

Happy days
