Just purchased on the internet a Camos Flat Sat @ £348.99. I think that is a petty good deal?
£51.00 cheaper than most places.
I am sure someone will come back and tell me where there is a cheaper one!:thumb:

Looks a pretty good deal to me. Are you going to share with us where you found it?

is it the camos sat or the camos sat plus that you have got, that is a good price have been looking at the camos sat plus with which you can supposedly get the astra 2 signal down on the med but that was over 500 pounds. I like the idea of the low profile and no arm with lnb to go wrong

Me to go again to campervanstuff ,as well as the standard instructions, there is at the bottom of the camos listing there is a full install guide, gave me the confidence to bang a 38mm
hole thro' the roof:thumb:

The cable can be set to the side of the dish,although the instructions show it to the front. So
I was going to drop mine through onto the wall cabinets and cable it to the TV point.Hopefully
I can fix this by accessing through the roof vent. Any way hope to fix it when it arrives next week, will keep you posted:thumb:

Yes ,Quite easy.once you have got the nerve to start drilling! Fed the cable to the side straight to the inside of the wall cupboard so all cables are out of sight. Does it work well? Yes sat here in Skegness at the moment 80% signal 70% quality. Setting up is a little frustrating the first time (trees) but got it down to about a minute now. Going back to fitting ,you may have to cut the elevation handle a bit shorter depending on the thickness of the roof (this is not shown on the instructions) Only downside I have found is trees, been to 2 sites last week and could not get a thing without moving the van I now find looking at dishpointer.com helps me find a good pitch before arriving on site:thumb::thumb::thumb:
