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!
