I have searched high and low for a satellite receiver that offers 12v/240v and RF output. I think it might be called RF or UHF modulator on some models. Does anyone know of a good one please?
Any reason for using the coax RF output? Would have thought 99% of equipment from the last few years would be fitted with scart connectors, they offer better picture / sound quality and don't require tuning like a RF connection does. Not familar with 12v sat receivers but would imagine its easier / cheaper in the long term to replace the TV with one that has a scart socket than track down a RF enables sat receiver. Something else to consider is many dvd players, games consoles etc are not fitted with RF outputs any more.
The Comag receivers Maplin/Lidl etc have 12volt although some are mains only, as for RF you can buy a gadget that will convert the scart/av out to an RF channel, not sure why you would want to do that for the reasons, Liam mentions, if you need a Sky box for the subscriptions channels, the the Sky Mini-Box runs of 12Volt and has RF Out, no RF out on my Comag, although I would not reccomend a Sky box for camping if you are only after the FTA channels. hope that helps.
Have a look here it looks as though it does the trick.

For a licence dated 1997 or later you must add together the plated max weight of the caravan and trailer, if the total is 3500 or less you can tow it. You may even tow a caravan with a MAM greater than the cars unladen mass the restriction was removed in 2013
No it's OK I'm not confused. Spotted it straight away, but hey thanks for the pointers anyway.
Reason for RF is purely that the existing small 7" telly recently bought has no scart. We are not really great telly watchers (as you probably gather) so don't need anything fancy. We are mountain walkers often in need of a good quality forecast and have had trouble getting signal with freeview so having to go down satellite option. Definitely do not want thousands of garbage channels. Quite happy with The Beeb.
BTW after another night of heavy surfing found Big Sat DSR 8001 from
