Here is a bat wing style antenna that I believe might be the one in mind. Pretty much junk IMO.

That company is located in Australia. I doubt that you will find one in the U.S.
Sure you will, under a variety of brand names. My 2014 Coachmen Freedom Express came with a Winegard Sensar III which I upgraded to a Sensar IV by adding a Wingman to it but anyone purchasing a current 2016 Freedom Express would instead have a fixed, bat wing style omni directional antenna from continu-us. I've got a spare CA-1500 in my workshop that I sat in the bay window of an upstairs bedroom for the last Superbowl so we could get the game out of Buffalo instead of Toronto and therefore see the US commercials. It's hardly "junk" and although not quite as sensitive as a Sensar IV it does work surprisingly well. I did get a bit of pixilating from time to time but since TV Fool indicates that transmitter is located 77.2 miles from my house as the crow flies I can hardly complain. Since this was winter my Winegard SensarPro was in the camper which at the time was in storage but my bet is if I'd used it as well to feed this antenna I'd have had no problems at all receiving a solid signal with this antenna.
