On our 6th van now and it has finally sunk in that we spend most of the time outside the van so lugging a big unit around didn't seem right for us. But then everyone is different and so long as you are enjoying it. The little Jayco Starcraft suits us and the annex gives us extra room as required. Enjoy your tr...

Thinking of getting a UHF radio. Don't really want to attach anything to the inside of ute. Has anyone used the handheld UHF? Are they any good? Would we need an aerial mounted on the car or is the in build aerial sufficient?
