    Or is the sensar the standard rv antenna?


    There are basically 3 Winegard "over the air" antennas.

    The Sensar is the standard "Batwing" model, when we speak of the "Batwing" That's what we are usually talking about. And the Wingman fits.

    The next one is the Sensar with the Wingman already installed (Ok so it's packaged in the box with the antenna, not installed as shipped but you get the idea) clearly you would not be buying the wingman if you had that one.

    The thrid is the Roadstar, JUNK, it's the "Flying Saucer" model If you wish to see a photo of it go to Radio Shack , they sell the same antenna under their name.

    I put one on our 1999 MH antenna and had great results.
  • It took longer to get the ladder than it took to install the Wingman®.

    I think it will fit all the Winegard batwings, just make sure it will clear your AC when retracted. Due to some other problems, I replaced my antenna head only with the Sensar IV, which comes with the wingman built-in. Very simple, just two pins to remove and replace. The results were astounding!! Results with just the Wingman add-on have been varied according to postings here on this forum.


    X2 felt much better about replacing the head with everything built in. Works great.
