Hi, I am a new RV owner (37 class a pusher) and having difficulty with the aerial antenna (a winegard manual crank up). It was very difficult to turn the crank so I went topside to see if there was some kind of lock. There wasn't. I then strained the crank once around before the handle broke off.
I assume the fix is to use WD40 on the gears on the roof? Any other tips?
Thanks in advance.
When open, I could see the gears and coated them with grease.
Two different coaches for this and for making it nice and easy for turning the crank.
Don't use grease or WD-40. The grease will make things worse with time as it attracts and holds dust and dirt. WD-40 is just bad. The only thing that should be used on the Winegard is a dry silicone spray.
