Motorhome and Camper Accessories Give RV'ers Access to Many Indoor Diversions

Many years ago, when people went camping in an RV, their indoor entertainment options were what one would classify as “slim pickings.” The choices generally consisted of games, ghost stories, transistor radios, books and if you where really lucky starring at a fuzz filled black and white television screen. Today's camping enthusiasts have a broad range of entertainment options to choose from on those gloomy rainy days thanks to modern motorhome and camper accessories.

Carryout Anser Portable Satellite Antenna

One of those superlative options is the chance to watch satellite television. Companies like Winegard have a huge assortment of satellite antennas and satellite finders to offer. Some of the satellite antennas are designed to pick up signals from more than one provider. The Wingegard GM5000 is a fine example. It allows campers to choose DISH TV, Bell TV or DirectTV as the satellite provider for their RV. Others, like the Winegard PA6002 Pathway X2, are compatible with just one satellite service provider.


The satellite products are not the only motorhome and camper accessories available either. RVers have the option of installing television antennas designed to pick up local VHF, UHF and HD broadcasts too. The antennas can generally be divided up into two categories; amplified and non-amplified.

The amplified antennas tend to be ideal for use at campsites where the signals are weak due to obstacles like mountains, trees, buildings and other RV's. Generally, TV signals in more remote places can be very weak and the amplifier signal will help tune those in. Otherwise, you may end up with no channels available at all and having to pull out that old transistor radio again.
