Tv

[Simon Meadwell]

Hi, our new to us van has two tvs but no outside aerial socket. When on site with aerial plug in points will i just have to feed a cable through a window and will i need two one per tv?

 

[Phill D]

yes and you may get away with a splitter .( but not completely sure about the splitter as dont use terrestrial TV any more).

You could fit a socket in a locker and route TV coax to it.
Leaving a locker slightly open is better than a window plus you'd have no visible cable in the van.

Plug the external aerial into the booster/splitter that is in you motorhome. That way one input does both tv’s

 

[Vanderek]

You could get a flat coax so that locker or window can be shut, plenty on Ebay

This is what we use when connecting to an external bollard.

through the cab door, the seal will have enough "squash" in it to close ok

Thanks just thinking in the short term . I will feed it via roof or door. then think about permanent one outside. But if we have firestick do you need the aerial.

As will most locker doors if laid along the long sides.

No aerial needed with a firestick,,BUSBY.

Never had or wanted a tv in our vans but this looks a good option

 

[Simon Meadwell]

Will one firestick work on two tvs?

Are you sure you haven’t already got a connection point hidden somewhere, ours is tucked behind the EHU plug.

no it directly inputs to the HDMI port

 

[Simon Meadwell]

Had a dedicated socket on old van on the outside for aerial 110 socket 12 volt and cigarette socket . Nothing i can find on this van will look under outside socket

If you have two internal points they should meet somewhere, find the link and see if there is an input to them, trace it back to see where it goes.
