As you can see from the photos this DIY RV TV antenna is straight forward.
  • The soda can needs to be cut in half with the shears, then mounted to the wood mount using the staple gun.
  • Then you need to attach two lead wires (any scrap speaker or electronics wire should work) from the cans to the transformer.
  • Then attach the transformer to the wood followed by attaching your coax cable to the transformer then to the back of your TV.
  • Run a scan for channels and voila, new DIY RV TV antenna!

 

To think that one bag of household trash can contain a large portion of the components for building a RV TV antenna is amazing. If your interested please visit the link below for full instructions and additional photos.
