What's the antenna on my roof?
I've never owned this new (2013) of an RV, so am curious what the antenna is on my roof? Seems to have a single RCA plug coming out of ceiling for an antenna feed...

- Generally the RV trailer roofs have two antennas installed on them. One will be a BATWING OTA crank up antenna and the other one will be an AM/FM whip antenna.
The BATWING Antenna will terminal into a RG F-connector near the Television location. The AM/FM Antenna will terminate into a CAR RADIO (Motorola type) connection for your AM/FM radio setup...
Sometimes you will get an optional crank up SAT DISH on the roof.
You can see the BATWING OTA and AM/FM Whip antennas in this google photo. Some trailers come with a JACK Antenna in lieu of the BATWING CRANK type
JACK ANTENNA that just rotates - does not crank up

Ummm, don't know what you mean. The "stereo" system was boosted from my repo-TT before I bought it. I have a power lead, ground lead, buttload of speaker wires, FM antenna lead, and one gold-colored RCA lead (male) coming down out of ceiling. I do have an odd-shaped antenna on roof- not the crank-up type I had in my older RVs.
Ideas?- Is the RCA feed on the inside or outside of the trailer?
