Poor radio reception in Elddis 130 autotrail 2008 model

[David0110]

I have had the vehicle for several months and the AM signal is very poor. In addition the FM signal is fine provided you are near to the signal source. i.e. a local radio FM reception is fine until you leave the area where the signal is coming from. I am comparing the poor reception against much better reception I can receive in cars I have/had which are much older models with standard quality radios.

 

I have had it checked twice by the dealer I bought it from and despite adding a booster, there has been no improvement.

 

The motor home has an aerial incorporated within one of the wing mirrors, apparently standard for this make and model, rather than an external aerial.

 

Any views please as to whether having an external aerial would improve the reception or anything else that can be done to improve the reception.

This is a common problem, you would be far better off replacing the Ariel with another mounted if possible on luton, but wing would improve matters.

Yes thanks thats what I was considering doing. I thought I would check first to see if the problem was specific to my vehicle or whether others had similar problems.
