Tiffin over the air antenna

I have a 2011 phaeton with my second mini state broadcast antenna which has also broken. I believe tiffin has changed to a better antenna. Does anyone have info on this matter? I have explored other models on the internet but don’t want to drill holes in the roof.

  • Does anyone know what antenna Tiffin is using now?
  • if you think the mini state antenna worked good enough when it worked the tiffin forums were saying they fell apart internally from road vibration. take it apart and put it back together with locktite on the screws. what could you loose its already broke right?
  • no omni directional tv antenna will ever out perform the signal receiving capability of a good directional tv antenna no matter how big a amplifier they claim it has. you can play with and keep spending money on the under performing antennas if you want. you will just be disappointed with them. but you can brag that you did not drill a hole through the roof. my vote is still for the winegard sensar IV if you want the best rv mounted antenna.
  • The Tiffin is not really setup for a Batwing but someone with the right skills could adapt one. There are other, better options available to Tiffin owners.

    Still the best ota antenna is the Winegard Sensar IV. longest rangem couple with the Sensar pro wall palate it can not be beat by any antenna sold for RV use in the US.
  • Properly sealed, drilling holes isn’t a problem. Running your generator in the campsite next to me four hours a day because you don’t want to mount solar panels is.
