Trev why not fit an external box - just drill one hole and they look really nice. Other option is to drill a hole in the battery box and get the cable through there. If you dont fanct drilling the wall, then go underneath the van through the floor and fit the box there. There are some pics of one fitted here :

This was my old van - ive come through the battery box for the satellite cable this time. Cant drill on a brand new van!

Trevor,

A simple method, which I've done myself, is to drill a hole in the floor of the van - in your case probably in the corner at the rear end of the Pan. Make the hole large enough so that you can glue a short piece of pipe in the hole to go through to the outside. The pipe needs to be large enough to pass the coax connection through. It's simply a matter of putting the cable through as and when necessary - a ten second job when you are setting up. Also, use some sort of cap or plug to block the pipe when not in use.

Cheap as chips and half an hour to do the job.

All the best,
AL

Sorry to hijack this thread but I'm a bit of a no hoper when it comes to stuff like this but I'm really interested in getting a decent signal on the TV.. I know we shouldnt have the goggle box on out in the wilds but when you have 2 youngsters to entertain when its pouring we need it.. Thing is, I've seen all the threads about satelite and stuff but what I basically want is someone to buy everything for me / fit it and then tell me how much I owe them for the job !!

Any ideas on who would be able to do this and a general idea on price aswell please including the dish and box.. Sorry to be lazy

Trev - I did the underfloor thing on my old van - you can even put an entry box under floor - however they get mucky and rusty quick. However for those afraid of drilling walls its a better option. Good luck.

mandk_surrey if you can get anywhere near East Yorkshire Ill fit it all for parts and £70. A dish is around £20, a box off ebay about £30. The cable entry point is around £30.
