coot Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 We have just purchased a new motorhome new to us. We are having trouble tuning our tv. Does anyone know if the aerial should go up and down, ousr goes from side to side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 ...I'm not quite sure I understand the question, but if you didn't get the instructions, than they are downloadable here, along with a troubleshooting guide. http://www.visionplus.co.uk/faq/technical/ Reading may help.

coot Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Thanks Robin Hood for the link we have looked at that it did not tell us if it should be telescopic or not. Ours isn't as far as we know ours just tilts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 ....there are two versions of this series of aerials; one with a long mast (for fitting above/in a wardrobe-length cupboard) and one with a short mast (for fitting above/in a shorter roof-cupboard) Though not technically telescopic, both are designed (when correctly installed) to allow the aerial mast to be raised (obviously the longer one goes higher). This is achieved by loosening the locking collar on the mast (see the instructions) and physically pushing the mast upwards. (The collar should then be re-tightened). With the collar loosened, the direction of the aerial can also be adjusted. There is provision for the aerial to be adjusted for horizontally polarised (normally main transmitter) signals, and vertically polarised (normally repeater transmitter) signals. This is achieved by winding the little handle at the bottom of the mast (and I'm assuming this is what you're referring to when you say "tilt") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayjsj Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Robinhood - 2015-05-08 4:07 PM ...good. Don't forget to lower it before travelling. ;-) . Another one of those jobs to do before driving off, incidentally , I used to drive with it 'pointy end forward' after lowering it, but evidently it's supposed to be 'blunt end forward' aerodynamics or so I was told ? Does it matter ? We don't go that fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugga Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 We drove home from the Peterborough Show with our ariel raised (its the long one so was quite high) but I noticed it when I came out from paying at the Petrol Station. Put that on our checklist now of things to do before driving away from site ha ha ha. We also drive with the point facing forward, interesting it should point backwards.
