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.

Dopes my III have an amplifier built in YES.
Where does it get power: Comes in on the Coax cable
Where does it (Coax) get power.. four possible answers:
1: Wall plate, it has a light a switch 12 volt outlet, antenna jack
This is the most common answer
2: Box of Many Buttons (Matrix switch, Button on the left is POWER
3: Sensar PRO (Fairly rare, not standard in any RV far as I know, I highly recommend it though Direct replacement for #1, can be used with #2
4: (Very rare as well) Power Inserter (small cube in the coax line)
Where does it (the power inserter device) get power: 12 volt house system.
Hope this helps.
The Wingman makes at least 3 DB improvement in UHF performance(increases the range by about 1/2) It also reduces several sources of interference
Sensar Pro can make a much larger increase in both VHF and UFH, also has several aids to the user that make it well worth the 100 dollar (rounded) price tag.
My System: Sensar III,, Wingman,,,, Sensar pro.... Box of Many Buttons.. Digital Converters.... DVRs,, Router (The DVR's chat with each other and with computers in house) and TVs. Tablet and Smart Phone.
