    We just are in the process of renovation an old 1985 Champion Class B. It has an old antenna on it and I am wondering what we need to do to transfer over to digital TV. Also what do most people do about Internet access?

      I saw an add on digital aerial for existing RV antennas. I think it was on Amazon. Didn’t pay much attention because I think my rig will come with a Digital Antenna.

      If it is the old batwing style Winegard antenna you can buy an add-on digital antenna. Easy to install, no tools needed, just clips on. – http://amzn.to/1Mo82ht It’s what we use and gets pretty good reception for digital and HD channels.

        Thank you, we don’t have a manual for our RV and we’re just trying to figure everything as we go

          For each new camping location, you’ll have to rescan for the local “over the air” channels. You go into the TV menu and look for channel scanning and pick the Antenna option and the TV will scan the airwaves and program in the available stations.
          You also have to make sure to have the antenna amplifier turned on. It’s usually a little button…[Read more]

            I’ve found this site to be useful, especially in fringe reception areas. Enter your GPS coordinates, and it returns exact pointing coordinates and expected signal strength.

    We just purchased an old 1985 Champion Class B motorhome and are in the process of renovating it. It has an old antenna. What do most people do for digital TV and Internet access?

      I am sure the boondockers here will have some good advice but a couple of things to think about: First, where are you going to be camping? If in the SW desert for example where you have a clear view of the satellites you could mount a dish on the roof of your rig. But in the forest you will have difficulty moving your rig to find a sweet spot…[Read more]

        Thank you for your response. We are trying to determine whether we should get a dish. We live in NH in the summer (very wooded) and we have a house in Arizona. Hoping to go back and forth and hoping to not have 3 cable bills. We don’t watch a lot of TV but don’t want to be without it and don’t want to invest a lot of money.

      Of all the internet data providers Verizon is best for RVers due to its excellent rural coverage. Although, if you intend to stick close to freeways and cities then any of the others will do the job.
