found some cable hookups in my house today but it was to short to run outsidE.I checked around and found these.What does everyone think?Is there a better website to get these parts from?Would radio shack have this sort of thing?Anwhere else that is cheaper?
There were a couple of times that we were able to use cable so I carry some with me every where I go now just in case.Thanks

Those are cool. Have not seen them ... I will look in HD or Lowes next time I am in there tho, they have a pretty good selection of cable stuff. Around here anyway.

I just talked to radio shack and they said they have them for around $1.99 each.I plan on getting some of these for the Airstream.No more trying to screw them into the outside wall anymore.

The KOA in N.Little Rock, Arkansas had a whole box of them on the counter. IIRC they were 99 cents apiece. I bought a handfull, first time I had ever seen them. They are invaluable for hooking cable up in the campgrounds. Several times I have had to use a bare pieces of wire and an alligator clips because the threads on the campground connectors were so bad

Devo - I've been using those for about five years now. Like Aaron said, they're great for campground connections with buggered threads. I even have some gold plated ones that really don't work any better than the regular ones. I use them with this type of mini coax for short (12 ft.) runs, although I have seen them in 25 ft. lengths. It's a real space saver, as the whole setup fits in the palm of your hand.

I believe I have seen these mini coax cables at Wal-Mart for around $7.

Hey I am sorry about how I said that in the first post.What I was meaning to say was that I have the cable wire but I am looking for the qick disconnects to put on the end of the cable so I can just slide them on and off in a flash.I was just getting tired of screwing them on the the outside trialer wall and sometimes the campground connection would be stripped up really bad.

I found out that radio shack has them for about $1.99 each so I am going to go get some today.I will post and take a pick of what I got to show everyone else.
Sorry about.
