Cable tv at campgrounds

It pains me to pay the cable bill at home, so I do not pay for cable while camping. However, I was at one of those "free" cable sites, ONCE. I bought a 50' coaxial cable just to "see if the onboard plug-ins work".

It is very easy to store a 50' cable. The cable can be purchased for under $20.00 (probably closer to $10.00 if you look hard enough).Even if the CG has a cable at the pole,chances are it has been weather beatened, maybe even run over...having a quality cable on-board may improve your viewing pleasure.

I carry two 25-foot RG TYPE F cables... I will use a splitter at the campground pedestal and run one cable to the CABLE TV input and then I will throw the other cable under the trailer to use when we want to sit outside and watch some TV around the firepit...

Having two 25-foot cables is also great when you are just short by a coupe of feet using the 25-footer. I use a double female TYPE F adapter to add the two 25-foot cables together to make it longer if needed...

Some have a coil at the poll, but not many, we carry 50 ft.

I use a 25' cable and have never been short.

I carry a piece of coax about 20' long. It's just part of the equipment I carry in the RV.
All the cable connections I have seen are at the site electrical box so, the length is sufficient for me.

I have never asked if the CG provides a cable. Maybe they do?
But, I would rather have my own.

I have a 50' as well, don't normally need it that long, but better long than short.

A 25' cable is usually more than enough, but I carry extra just in case.

They supply the spigot, you supply the cable. I have a 50' cable just for that.
