Any one got any eperience or comment about the TV arial fitted to Autosleeper PVC's.

I've got a 2016 Kemerton XL but my previous caravan had a directional Status arial, this one is fixed and the salesman did not inspire me with confidence when I asked about it.

    What type is it....does it work?

    One new aerial which is not directional is said to perform better than the directional ones!

    The  fixed  'Flying  Saucer"  style  aerial  on  my  Autocruise  works  as  well  as  anything 
    BUT  It  does  not  improve  the  quality  of  the  programmes  alas,  only  of  the  signal !

    Ive got a 2015 Warwick XL, it is , I imagine the same arial as yours. We too previously had a caravan with a directional status. This year we have been on 3 or 4 sites where neighbours got a good signal with a status and we got little or nothing with our
    AS. If you are in a strong signal area it works ok, but in more rural areas or where there are trees it is poor. I have now bought a portable satallite kit from Maplins as I have little confidence in the one on the van and didn't wish to swap to a status.

    Think its one of   <these>   not as expensive and not as good as a Status directional.Sad

    We also find where you are on sites which advise you to put the arial in the vertical plane you cannot, it is fixed as horizontal so you get zilch..
