Hi

If you buy a coax plug to plug lead of whatever length, and buy a coax coupler (£1) as well, the plug, if wrong can be converted to a socket easily.

 The portable is just am old tv we had in the loft, so we thought we could use it in the caravan.Not freeview or anything special but the connection in the caravan and the tv seem to be the same, just wondering if there is a certain 'caravan' lead?!  Sorry Paul-I don't know what a 'coax' plug is!!  I need to be talked through it all slowly - am a TOTAL beginner!

Thank you for being patient!

If the socket in the caravan looks like the socket in the back of the TV (chances are it does) then you just need a standard TV aerial flylead - with what are technically known as male coaxial Belling-Lee UHF plugs on each end (standard TV plugs to you and me!).

They are available everywhere and look like the following:


(click the image for one such example from Maplin)
