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.

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!
It's a 2009 amerilite 21 mble.
No doubt an entry level.
I'm just saying I read an awful lot of blanket statements on here about, "it has to have one".
I haven't looked up the model of mine, but it's not ancient and didn't come with one.
It was a simple purchase from a hardware store in our travels, Maybe $30, problem solved.
I have no issues with my "entry level" It's working perfectly, gets us out about a weekend a month, and just recently from extreme southwest FL to New Orleans and back.
