    @kezo there is no direct short at the incoming coax when disconnected at the aerial and booster, I’ve already replaced the booster with the exact same make and model as the one previously fitted.

    The outside coax appears okay but is best described as ‘wethered’ I’ve not pulled the cable out of the guttering down pipe so it could be worse in there.

    The cable is the one that was originally fitted to the caravan. The caravan is basically a timber frame with hardboard internal walls and aluminium clading outside with insulation sandwiched in the cavity in-between. The cable enters the caravan through the cavity up to a dry lining box next to the booster, see the earlier picture, the four outputs go back through the dry lining box to aerial sockets, two in the living room and one in each of the bedrooms, again within the cavity.

    This could only have been done during the caravan manufacture there is no connection/junction box outside so I’m assuming the cable would have been coiled up and clipped under the caravan with enough length to fit an aerial anywhere on the outside the caravan.

    What I’m going to try next is buy new cable and try it through an open widow to see if it works and if successful I’ll find a new permanent route into the booster.

    I can’t find WF100 cable at either toolstation or screwfix but there is CT100 I’ve attached a link, do either yourself or wigwam think this would be okay.
