I've bought an aerial for my old van. This has a bracket to fit it on a pole. I'm doing things on a cheap budget and don't want a permanent aerial fitted to my old van. I have a suitable pole, but how can I fix the pole to the ladder on the back doors of my van? Someone directed me towards 2 or 3 x vision plus brackets but at a tenner each this is too much for fittings. Please advise. Thanks.

Bit rough and ready but you could consider a couple of lashings. All that Boy Scout knotwork and raft building experience to draw on. Wink

Would it be possible to fit it to the jockey wheel instead?

We use this type of clamp, there are many sizes, for all sorts of temporary fixings!

It all depends how temporary you want it!?

22mm pipe clips bolted thru the ladder worked for us

Van across from me is using a bit of bungee wound round the pole and jockey wheel. It sports the most substantial domestic type TV aerial I've ever seen. I am assuming his flying saucer on the van roof is defunct.
