Tv antenna recommendations
My 2015 Coachmen came with a none rotatable antenna, would a jack antenna or other option work better? Thanks

I would avoid the Rayzar automatic unless you have no A/C units on the roof. Height is might and the Rayzar automatic does not have this advantage.
Yeah, you would think ... but I've read through the entire owner's manual for the Rayzar Automatic and it only provides reference to the unit's footprint and minimal distances from the edge of the roof & any other roof borne obstructions, all of which my Freedom Express can meet, and says nothing about an A/C unit obstructing performance. Since the Automatic is specifically designed for RV use I would have thought this would have been addressed if it were an issue ... but it's not, so considering there's hardly a TT, 5th, etc, out there without A/C on the roof I'd have to assume Winegard doesn't consider this to be a problem.
Yeah, I still do think! I also used to work for Winegard and I can tell you that Winegard cannot avoid the reality that all that metal inside an A/C unit will reduce or eliminate the UHF TV signal depending upon how far from the transmitter your RV is located. Installing an antenna that allows the elements to be above these obstructions will give you the best possible reception.
I would be happy to hear from anyone who disagrees that metal obstructions reduce the available UHF signal.
