Tv antenna upgrade questions

I have an 07 Coachman Cross Country that has a Signal Commander batwing antenna on it. I have HD tv's in the coach and have been using the satellite system over the years. I have dropped my satellite service and I'm going to start using the antenna. It works well in some places and not so well in others. I looked at the Winegard HD batwing and thought about getting it. Mine does not have a 12v power source going to it. It has the coax going into the batwing and coming in to the signal diverter (box that sends signal to all three tvs). I cannot find any other power source going to the antenna so I'm not sure if the new Winegard will work without having to install the power source. Not really sure if I am calling it by its right name or not. It had three coax connections and an on/off button on it with a place for 12v plug. The guy says its needs a 12v power source and that it works like an amplifier. I'm just wondering what all you have to do to upgrade the antenna from an 07 model to a 2019 model. Everything is working fine I am just wanting to be able to pick up more channels and increase the range of the antenna. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you have a Signal Commander, you DO NOT have a Winegard Batwing antenna. It might be that shape but it's not the same so be sure you are listening to folks who understand the difference.
It's quite easy to add the 12V power you need for a Winegard Batwing as the 12V power is sent up the existing coax after you add the Winegard power supply (or Sensar Pro) somewhere in the area where the existing coax leaves the wall and runs to the TV. Worst case you just add a 120V to 12V power supply in that location and you are good to go. The Winegard needs room to raise and lower without obstruction on the roof so be sure to plan the installation before you proceed.
