There is no better RV antenna than the Winegard Batwing, with the optional Wingman attachment. Add also the Sensar Pro power supply/booster and you have a good setup. There are also apps for smart phones that will help you find the closest towers for aiming purposes.

I'm sure the OP already knows this, also knows that even with a Sensar IV head and SensarPro driving it that reception is often still marginal to none at all ... just as I also know this.

I would think this might be the one exception for mounting a 2" bumper receiver, even a bolt on, as that would allow then mounting a flagpole holder like this to the trailer. To rotate the head I'd just keep it simple by manually rotating the pole to which the head is mounted. I just haven't bothered myself because I really don't care all that much about watching TV while camping, 'though my wife would probably think this was a worthwhile mod. ;)
