Tryng to identify what this antenna is.

We had our (new to us) MBS 2401W serviced by (name redacted for now) and they managed to destroy the TV antenna, refrigerator vent, bend the am/fm radio antenna, and broke off what appears to be a 6" antenna.

I am trying to figure out what this little 6" antenna is for. The Sirius satellite antenna is mounted flush to the roof. The AM/FM antenna is approx 2 1/2 feet long and has a spring mount on the bottom. The mystery antenna is just 6" long. It is mounted on the roof about a foot away from the TV antenna. Any suggestions?

    Ah!

    Sorry for the assumption.

  • Service centers......sheesh!

    Our first motor home, brand new in 1983 getting it's first oil change at a service center out in Phoenix AZ, they messed up the roof vent...and it was closed to begin with. That was the first and last time I had anyone do an oil change for me on any of my vehicles. Just once is all it took.
  • I had an epiphany this morning and checked one more thing - turns out it is the antenna for the radio in the dash for the driver - as that radio cannot receive any signals now!
