Your motorhome is 7 years old. If you have the Winegard(Jayco uses 2 brands), There is a coax union on ALL Winegard Antennas right under the mount baseplate where the coax enters the roof. Usually, after a few years, water gets to this coax union and corrodes the connection. When you crank up and down this motion slightly moves the coax and if you have this type problem will cause reception problems. You can usually access this connection from the INSIDE of the RV. Remove the Crank plate and handle and use a flashlight and a pencil to push any insulation out of the way. There is usually enough slack to pull out this coax junction to check it. If it is clean and no rust/corrosion, then check the Coax where it goes into the antenna wing. Remove the coax and check for rust/corrosion there. Doug
