I have a 2001 Sterling Elite Trekker, my problem is the ariel that sits on top of the van. It is the one that looks like a flying saucer, very common on many vans. When we go away it is very unpredictable, works one time then nothing the next. I have had a look and the top will pull off but only as far as the wire is connected underneath, which has almost no slack. This would enable me to have a look at the wiring connection. It does sound like a faulty connection, does anybody have any advice because I am sure this must of happened to people before, very frustrating for a simple problem.

Thanks

Karl.

These omnidirectional aerials are pretty rubbish in my view. Don't bother with ours. we use one like this

We have the built in status directional one and we find this superb. It's just so easy as it is all built in, on our older vans we used to erect a pole aerial or satelite, we just dont bother now.

I wonder as you have the hole cut in the roof whether you could convert/upgrade?
