Replace TV antenna
Our Winegard TV antenna was broken in a few places during a wind storm. It looks like we need to replace it. We are looking online at Camping World's Winegard Sensor IV Antenna. Has anyone replace...

I messed up my Batwing last year when I forgot about it, and ran into a tree.. I replaced it completely with the Jack antenna mentioned above, including the base. Now I never have to worry about raising or lowering the thing... and I benefit from the built-in signal meter too..
That;s all well and good until you still hit a tree, and the 100% plastic base cracks, allowing water a direct path in.
I also have no use for that signal meter- it is fine unless you are near a cell phone tower, or any communications tower, in which case it is worthless.
The complete Jack is a good replacement for rental rigs, or for people who want to watch TV while driving, but it will not touch a Batwing for performance-I've sold, installed and tested both, sometimes side by side.
