TV in the camping

Poor reception means you have to constantly search for a signal and get nervous when it disappears. Meanwhile, antenna manufacturing companies (even our Polish ones!) are thinking about the owners of trailers, campers and yachts. In many stores you can buy special active antennas designed to withstand air flow loads while driving. Not only do they have a streamlined, sealed body, but they also receive signals from any direction! They are also equipped to receive digital terrestrial television.

If we decide to buy such an antenna, let's provide ourselves with additional options: install a mast. It needs to be removed from the trailer. Preferably an aluminum tube with a diameter of 35 mm. Let's also boost the signal. If it is not included, buy a wideband amplifier. There are special ones - with power supply from 230V and 12V.

Each trailer has a ceiling-to-floor wardrobe. This is where we place the mast. In the roof of the trailer, close to the cabinet wall, we make a hole with a diameter of 50 mm. Our turner friend will make a through flange from plastic and secure it to the roof using assembly adhesive (avoid silicone!). We screw on the handles (such as for mounting pipes), attach the antenna to the mast, attach the amplifier somewhere inside the cabinet, deftly lay out the antenna cable and... done!
