I talk a lot about getting out and experiencing nature, going on hikes, swimming in a lake, and spending time outdoors, but sometimes we just can’t help it. We have to watch the big game or turn the TV on to relax after a long day. I do it, and I’m sure that everyone reading this does at some point in time. It’s OK, we don’t think any less of you!
If you’re out in the woods, then you may run into a bit of a problem getting good reception so you can actually see the score of the game. Luckily enough, there are a few options that will resolve that issue, because no one wants to watch a fuzzy TV. With the digital changeover that happened a couple of years ago, it rendered a lot of tube-type (read: heavy) televisions useless without a digital converter. So if you didn’t fork over the money to get a digital converter, you were staring at a screen full of snow. Nowadays, you can not only pick up digital channels in your RV, you can even get satellite TV! Here’s a couple of antennas that we carry and would make sure you don’t miss the football game when you’re at a campsite.
King Controls ‘Jack’ RV Digital TV Antenna
This one is pretty neat. It allows you to stay inside your RV and spin the antenna 360 degrees. Using an LED guidance display, the SureLock Digital Signal Finder, it will tell you where your going to get the best signal, saving you from having to re-calibrate your antenna after you’ve sat down.
Winegard RAYZAR Amplified HDTV Indoor Antenna
The Rayzar is an antenna that you mount on the wall, preferably in a window in the direction of the best signal. It provides all the local programming in HD and is super easy to install. Just plug it in to the TV and mount it using the provided suction cups. I wish everything we installed on our RV was that simple.
Winegard Pathway X2 Satellite Antenna
If you have a DISH satellite subscription, this is the end-all, be-all antenna for you. It even finds your DISH signal automatically! No more having to climb up on top of your RV to adjust. You can even watch 2 separate channels on different televisions. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used mine to catch up on my shows.
What’s your experience been with using antennas in your RV?
