This topic has probably been beaten to death previously, so my apologies if I'm covering old ground.
I'm looking for a cheap and cheerful but above all easy answer to rigging a TV aerial on the 'van. Our previous arrangement was a standard aerial on a two piece pole fixed into brackets high up on the 'van wall; less than ideal as it needed rigging and derigging every time we moved, and I could only reach by using the high level berth ladder - and then only just. It did give perfectly good results though, our requirements are minimal, we don't watch a lot of TV when away and will happily settle for a video if reception is poor.
Unfortunately the brackets broke last time I derigged it (they were glued on, one came away altogether) This has prompted me to look for a different solution - preferably one that means I don't have to rig and derig when we move. A permanent roof mounted jobbie looks to be the answer - but I don't want to spend a lot of money - any ideas?
