We purchased the 1byone 70 Miles Omni-directional Amplified Outdoor HDTV Antenna Caravan TV Antenna High Performance RV Antenna, but it doesn't seem to still be available. We installed it a couple of months ago while camping in a TN State Park. We had two channels on our TV, installed this thing and got 23 different stations. We were very pleased.
Its probably not avaliable because an Omni antenna is by far the worst antenna on the market by any manfacturer unless you are camped literally within sight of the transmitter. They have no gain and no multipath rejection whatsoever. The OP is going to the desert surrounded by mountains with the nearest popular 60-100 miles away over several mountain ranges in any direction. Hardly a place for an Omni even if they did work.
We are located in the mountains of SW Virginia and the TV stations are on the other side of the mountains (about 5500 ft) and about 50-70 air miles away.
They may be the worst, but we have had great luck with it EVEN where we had no service with our crank-up antenna.
If your crank up antenna is a Batwing, and that Omni works better.... the Batwing is broken
