Newbie!
Our MH is currently in having some snagging items done and tracker fitted.
We were going to have an aerial fitted while it was in to save on data useage but the aerial they were fitting they said they cannot fit as it will not fit in the cupboard. The alternative they have offered is a Maxview Gazelle Pro, but they said the signal is not great. Am I wasting my money, what do most people do? We are not big TV watchers but we do intend to be away for longer periods so nice to have something available. I gave up trying to stream sky to watch formula one just doesn't load so any tips on that too would be great!

When we can't use satellite we bought a cheapie indoor one from amazon £13, it works amazingly well, we have never failed to get a signal:

I bought a similar one from Amazon, Model DVB-66B which has a 12v amplifier, and sited it inside a high level cupboard in the rear of the MoHo. It also works surprisingly well, although I have put it on a flat piece of tin to give a bit of a ground plane effect.

Logically they just shouldn't work but they just do.
Last week in Bradford on Avon we just hung it horizontally around the doorframe and got a perfect signal.

That is fantastic thank you, much better than paying £275 for something that may not work! Did you have satellite retro fitted? It might be something we invest in later but want to see how we get on first, the price they quoted scared me lol!

The satellite was fitted when we bought the van.
