Winegard Antenna

Want to add a Batwing? to our Winegard antenna. When in the down position it is against the AC shroud so the added wing would not fit. Want to change the down position. Do I change the down position from the roof or inside? Thanks
  • If your installation is similar to the photo shown, I would just rotate the base assembly far enough to the right to clear the Wingman past the A/C and reseal it.
  • The dial on the ceiling is keyed to the down position
    You flip sides on the roof
    All you have to do is remember the front of the antenna now points out from the RV not in towards the RV , so the disk pointer is facing the back of the antenna not the front where you want to point the antenna, put a mark on the dial for the new front spot pointing
    After a few outings to will have it down pat
    You still line up the dial marks inside just the same as always to store it away
  • Ran into same problem on previous Motor Home. Several choices available. If Batwing is older model, try a newer model without the wingman. They were upgraded about 2005 or so. Install Sensar Pro Meter and booster inside to replace current power supply. Replace with a Jack instead. Replacing the head is easy, Just tw pins to pull and replace. The SensarPro booster is an exact-fit replacement, depending on where it is and how hard to get to. Easiest solution is the Jack as a replacement.
  • I had a clearance problem with the Wingman and I was told to change the position I had to remove it all and re-install backwards, which wasn't advised.

    So I opted to put a Jack Antenna on.
