Winegard Wingman
I'm considering adding the Wingman to my Winegard batwing attenna. For those of you that have done this, is it worthwhile, ie, did you notice an improvement?

EDIT--now that I have played with putting the Jack on and off, I think you can just put the batwing with Wingman on the other way around so the Wingman sticks out the other side.
When I installed my Batwing there was no room to stow it to the rear so I mounted it so it stows to the side. It has been this way for 9 years and have had no problems.
The Winegard Sensar IV aka Batwing is considered the best RV antenna. It has the best VHF performance of the lot. About 25% of US TV stations are now broadcasting on the VHF band. Because of its small size the Jack does a poor job of receiving VHF. Here's a link to an extensive test that SCVJeff did a few years ago:

The Sensar Pro is a great improvement over the basic wall plate but is not required. It has an adjustable amplifier that can give you 10 db more gain and also has a display for signal level which allows you to find the best direction for the antenna.
