I gave up and created my own RV TV antenna. I purchased a General Electric Ultra Edge Outdoor HD TV Antenna - basically an oversized and sturdier version of the indoor flat plastic panels. Package rated for 60 miles and meant to be mounted to the side of a house; so I also purchased a 'make your own' window screen kit, mounted the antenna to the screen, salvaged the mount from the old (very old) batwing and attached that to the screen. The antenna moves just like the batwing to maintain the correct orientation. I also replaced the external coax and by-passed the Winegard 12v power injector.
