External TV and 12 Volt Connection

Hi 

looking to fit a weatherproof TV/12 volt connection to the RV.

Are the pictured points available in Australia? If they are where? If not any ideas similar?

Thanks 

Stephen

It seems to be available via eBay UK .... might be a bit expensive?

Hi John,

thanks for the response. Yes I saw this as well but thought surely we would have something similar in Australia. Proving to be more difficult then I thought For something that appears fairly basic.

regards,

Stephen

There are any number of ordinary 12v "cigarette" type connectors available in the auto shops.

What has happened to the KISS Principle?

 Having both antenna and 12V connections in the same waterproof hatch/box? would be keeping it even more simple.

 Not if you have to head overseas to buy them. It only complicates a simple job as well as making it more expensive.

Gday...

I think the requirement is for a combined 12v/TV antenna 'box' for use EXTERNALLY - hence it needs to be weather-proof.

There are no end of combined 12v/TV antenna plates for sale at the various electronic/caravan outlets within Straya - but they are for indoor installation.

cheers - John
