Thanks Eric.
Didn't even know that it came apart.

Number 2 for sure and run an extra earth to the closest
battery, save chipping off the powder coating.
Space them as best you can UHF doesnt like to be crowded I think
so you have TV,,,UHF ,,whats the third ???
EDIT:::::AM_FM yes

Jay see - separate your antennas by approx 300mm to avoid any potential interference, but saying that the most important thing is to get them as high as possible, ie mount on top rail of bar, have you thought of one antenna mounted on the bonnet or at the rear of vehicle. Be aware of keeping them legal, if I remember there is a size limit (diameter of antenna) that can be mounted n front of drivers side.

30mm from memory is the thickest, it was cause ppl were mounting their VHF on the bullbar
Keep them in from the edge of your bullbar otherwise you'll end up snapping them off.lol

Had some trouble with the antenna connection, got it working but will change it when Jay car get the correct ones in stock.

Is it called a sma connection to the head unit from the DBtV unit

[jay see]

Yeah, I know.
It's actually rca from the headunit to the HD box and the sma is from the aerial to the box.
Sunshine didn't have one to suit the rg59 cable, so gave me an adapter.

It's very sensitive tho. I was waiting to pick up my son and watched the early news on Ch 9, which was jumping in and out a bit, moved 5 metres forward and perfect on every single channel, until some lady parked in front of me and lost all the digital 10 & 7 channels.

Yeah a bit hit and miss sometimes, older cars will interfere a bit more ,,like faulty plug leads.
Different places will pick up different channels, but still handy.

I'm hoping on fixing this with a proper connection or maybe a signal amplifier, if there is such a thing.

@jay see check out what jaycar has to offer for signal amplifiers. Im sure they do Caravan ones that run on 12v

Well been a while since I've been on this post.

New battery arrived. Crap it's big.....

I want to free up space on top of the draws, so this big boy is going behind the left hand side draw.

I'm getting a 3mm plate from work for the battery to sit on.

I've got enough room to lay it flat, but will have less draw or sit it upright, but will make getting to the terminals a little harder.

One concern is heat and air circulation. That's why I cut out a large hole. If I find that it's too hot I made wire in a 12v fan.

What's it for now, just got to see if I can get someone at work to weld the end piece of the draw back on.
