We don't watch much t.v. when camping, but is nice to have when we do want to watch it.I finally decided to replace the 13" analog t.v. that takes up way to much space under the bench seat. I figure losing the big box and the digital converter box will save enough space to justify the cost. We can upgrade to a 26"-28" (roughly $100.00)... doubling our viewing pleasure. Ah, I mean saving space.Since I am on the upgrade the t.v. kick....I Figured I would upgrade the Winegard on our 2012 TT, by adding a wingman as well. Some demos show removing "4" plugs to clip on the wingman. Some demos show removing "3" plugs. I checked....my antenna is of the "3" plug variety.Hear comes that "question" that may seem stupid, but I don't want to go thru the whole returning product cr@p.Is there a difference when ordering for a "3" plug or "4" plug???? I was going to order the t.v. off of Wallyworld, and they have the wingman (it says 4 plugs). Are they universal, or specific to the 3-4 plug models. Seems like a simple question....yet I can't find the answer?????

I'll just add, that you first need to go up top and look how much room you have left over when the antenna is in the down position. Some RV's the ac is in the way when adding a wing man to it.

Thanks Rockhillmanor.I have done my due diligence. Plenty of room for the upgrade, confident that the wingman is the best option for us. Just NOT sure if they are multi-fit. Don't want to order one advertising 4 plugs, only to find out it does not work on the winegard with 3 plugs.

There is one Wingman, compatible with all Winegard Sensar batwing antennas. Depending on the antenna, you will use 3 or 4 of the attaching plugs.Had to cut off one of the elements due to interference; booster helped some.Doug

three plugsfour plugsThe first video actually says "some of the older heads have four".Mine has three...if they are multi-fit, not a problem. I am assuming they probably are multi-fit, but since we all know what happens when we assume, And I do not feel like having to do a return...I thought someone one here might have the knowledge I seek. I would have just asked winegard, but their operator was off-line.
