Hi
We are not so experienced caravanners, only been a few times. In the summer we are off to Bude and they only had super pitches left. We have sorted the hose bit for constant water and understand the waste but ..... This may be a stupid question.......what do we need for the tv point? We don't usually take a tv but thought we might as back up for kids incase it chucks it down for 2 weeks - not that they will sit inside for 2 weeks watching tv!
Thanks!
Julia

I take a 5mtr coax lead with a male connection at each end you can have it as long as you wish just make sure it has a male at each end.

Does the site supply a tv connection if so I would do as above but have a much longer cable.

Agreed with James and Pete. 5m will be too short for most sites unless you are very lucky. Amazon do cables for around £15. Most come with a gender change for one end too. The cable you'll want is male to male.

Most sites that have aerial connections will normally sell the cables in the site shop.

I think we got ours from Sherwood Forest.

Might be worth phoning the site and asking.

Thanks for your replies.....another stupid question - where does it plug in? Do we have to leave a window open for the cable to go through or would there be a point on the outside of the van??

That depends upon your van. Have a look in the battery box to see if you have an external TV point. That's where ours is.
