The Status aerial on the roof should be connected to a small white power supply, usually inside the wardrobe or cupboard close to where the aerial is.
The output of this is then connected to an aerial socket in the living area of the van, usually with an integral 12v output in the same plate. A standard male to male aerial flylead will suffice between this aerial plate and your TV (available from any decent electrical store, B&Q etc).
The white device in cupboard will have an on/off switch (powered from 12v) and you'd normally switch this to 'on' as it powers the Status aerial on the roof, however there are many folk who are disatisfied with the performance of this type of aerial, so you may unhappy with result (depends on location, signal strength etc).
The aerial outputs on EHU posts are usually standard TV aerial sockets, so a standard male to male aerial cable would be used between post and TV. Assuming you have no external TV aerial connection on the van, the easiest option for first use would be to pass this cable thru a window to check. Length of cable will vary between sites; I carry two, x1 at 5m, x1 at 10m (to save using a long cable for short run and getting tangled).
Either way, your TV will need to be fully re-tuned for the site your on (I'm assuming it has integrated Freeview/digital).
PS: What year is the van Pam, do you have user manual for it?
