Hi,
My question is simple enough - but I can't seem to find the answer ANYWHERE! I am customizing an old "shorty" school bus to accomadate my growing family. With 6 kids, our new "van" will eliminate having to travel "convoy" style in 2 vehicles as we have had to do for the past few years.
The bus is an old 25 footer that is titled as a "van", as it isn't "self-contained" like a camper is. We have equipped it with a booth/table w/benches, mini fridge, microvave, an exsisting bus bench, a "captians chair and a futon. We've recently installed a 14" TV/VCR combo for the kids.
My question is....
What EXACTLY do I need to pick up UHF/VHF reception on the TV while in motion? I've seen dozens of antennas that state that they are for when the motorhome is "parked". I need some way for the kids to be able to utilize the TV as well as the VCR while we are on the road (try getting a 16 year old and a 2 year old to agree on a video)!
I've seen "TV TUNER UNIVERSAL" - is this required to convert the power source to VHS reception? I've also looked "batwing" antennas - will these work while in motion? Any info I can find is written in the context as if the buyer ALREADY KNOWS what they need - therefore doesn't elaborate on the products capabilities.
ANY help/suggestions/instruction would be MOST APPRECIATED! We hope to take'er out this weekend for the first time - I'd love to have it all completed.
Thanks a bunch, Tracey
