Caravanners who always head to sites with hook-up don’t need to purchase a specialist 12V touring television, because a standard 240V domestic model will do the job – and probably be cheaper. If this is you and you want a TV for touring, you could try Richer Sounds; John Lewis also offers free extended warranties. If you head off-grid, or can’t alw...
Leaving a TV in a van that’s in long-term storage is a bad idea from a security and a lifespan point of view – prolonged damp could damage the electronics. We would always recommend removing the TV from any van that’s not used for long periods. In addition, because a caravan in transit is a pretty ‘bouncy’ place to be, and continuous jolting can ca...
Modern flat-screen televisions feature slimline designs that have too little internal space to create bass sounds. However, adding a sound bar can replace the ‘tinny’ sound produced by the TV with much more ’rounded’ acoustics. For example, Avtex makes the SB195BT Bluetooth sound bar (from £139), while among other options is one from Sony, the HT-S...
Many caravans come with a directional TV aerial built in. These are typically on the roof, with a handle on the inside of one of the internal overhead lockers, which allows you to wind the aerial into position and/or turn it to find the correct angle for the best picture. You will need a signal-finder device to locate the strongest signal with a ma...
The easiest way to watch movies while you’re on tour is probably to buy a 12V TV with a built-in DVD player, or have a standard 12V TV connected to a separate DVD player (the latter costing from around £20). This is a simple plug-and-play option, with picture quality guaranteed. These days, new and used DVDs can be bought very cheaply.
If you’re looking to stream content such as Netflix to your TV, you’ll need a good-quality internet feed. This can come from the campsite Wi-Fi, via a dongle or through a phone. The cost of doing this could be prohibitive, but if you have an unlimited 3/4/5G data deal with your phone or dongle, it might well be viable. Using campsite Wi-Fi as a sou...
Thousands of satellites orbit our planet, and some transmit TV channels back down to Earth. In the UK, we tend to use the Astra 2 series of satellites, which are in geostationary orbit (they move with the Earth’s rotation) in the southern sky. Your dish focuses radio waves from a satellite on its low-noise block (LNB) downconverter, on the end of t...
Satellite dishes are all about size, and if you tour in Europe, bigger is definitely better. In the UK, a 35-65cm dish will do, but the further you are from the UK, the bigger the dish you’ll need: 65-75cm in France, and up to about 85cm if you’re after UK channels in Spain or Portugal.

Attach the dish securely to the caravan, ensuring that it is level a...

Setting up TV in your motorhome or caravan. You’ll need a digital signal in order to watch TV in your motorhome or caravan. To get one, you’ll need to choose a provider such as Sky, Freesat or Freeview: each with different requirements, channel options and payment plans.
A DVB-T receiver or set top box is essential for reception of digital television via an aerial. You cannot use a satellite receiver with a terrestrial set-up and vice versa. As with an analogue television, a digital receiver has to be re-tuned every time the location where it is being used changes.
In this Data Sheet there are tips on how best to receive your favourite TV and radio programmes when touring in the UK and abroad. Picking up a good signal depends on having a suitable aerial as well as being within range of the transmitter.
