Hi everyone.
I need some advice please.
My van has an old Status 315 antenna and it is rubbish. So I bought a digital antenna Moonraker DVT 1000 although it was recommended it still won't pick up a decent signal in most places, so I have decided to get a digital antenna and raise it high on a mast at the back of the van.
I thought I could take the antenna and mast off and store them in the back of the van till needed.
I've seen a number of vans with high masts and antennas at the top, there is even one locally with a flagpole and union jack waving high in the air.
Looking for clamps one of the sellers has suggested not drilling holes in the van but attach the clamps with Sikaflex as this would be strong enough to hold the mast and antenna, but I am very skeptical that it will, and I have images of the mast coming down with antenna and big chunks of the bodywork of the van with it. I know sikaflex is strong but is it really that strong.
Has anyone had any experience of attaching accessories to the outside of their van without drilling and just using sikaflex and can anyone suggest a good antenna to get.
Thanks in advance
Gary
