Winwguard Batwing Antenna
Does my III have an amplifier built in? If so, where does it get power? I will get the UHF add-on to make it a IV.

Sorry to disagree, but my sensar didn't come from the factory with a wall plate wiith a switch, many don't.
I still had pretty fair reception.
I did add a simple inline aftermarket booster for about $30, but the best addition was the wingman.
In one rv park we pulled in 82 channels OTA.
I have pulled them in from pretty close to 65 miles.
No you don't have to have the thingamabob.
While your setup may not have included a wall plate, it did come with a power supply that sends 12V power to the antenna. That might have been from a video control center which may or may not have had an on/off switch but there is a power supply in the mix somewhere as the antenna will just barely function without power.
Winegard used to make a batwing style antenna that was not amplified but I don't believe any RV manufacturer has installed one of these on an RV in many years. If they installed one on yours they should be shot!
