Need some advice please .
Off tomorrow on a 11 day 4 site trip visiting family first stop Huntersmoon site .
The other 3 sites are CLs , this will only be our second stay on a club site in 15 years .
We are adviced that we will need a TV booster , and told 25 mtrs is usefull , they don't keep them for hire or sale , so its coax cable and what plugs a male and a female ?
Thanks

Yes ET, a bit confusing talks of ''TV booster, and told 25 metre cable...''
This one from Wilko is similar but mine has two outputs.

It depends on the site. Some sites that might be in a valley don't get a signal so a booster has nothing to boost. These sites then have their own aerial & have an aerial socket on the post ..... same as you would have at home. You'd then use your 25m cable between the post & the back of your telly.
Caravans usually have their own booster for use with its own aerial.

Never had to use a 'booster' Just a length of co-ax (25m) and the right plugs on the end. As has been said some bollars are co-ax, some are F-type. Likewise, check what is need on your van. My Lunar is F-type as its intended to be used with external sat dishes.

You will not need a booster on a club site as the signal is already "boosted via the site tv system ,but you will need a coax lead with a male plug each end one end plugs into the EHU bollard and the other directly into your Tv via a "window?"wrote is recommended it being the same length as most EHU leads,do not go via the van booster or use an in line booster as will not work,you will need to do a retune on the tv once plugged in to the site system

I've been on several C&MC sites where there is no TV point on the bollard so signal has to be from your own aerial, a few of these sites have also been in poor signal areas where a booster was also required. You will also need to note if it's horizontal or vertical polarisation of the aerial too!
