TV Antenna

Standard Antenna is a Sensar II or III from Winegard
Best replacement ONLY IF THE ANTENNA IS DAMAGED is Sensar IV
If you are looking to upgrade.. Add a Wingman. much less expensive.

Next upgrade (NOTE this applies to the Sensar IV as well) is the SENSAR PRO indoor module (power supply/source switch/ much more)

That is what I run, amazing improvement.

Lab and field tests both show.. NONE better.

Like it or not, the Winegard Sensar IV or an older Sensar with a Wingman add-on is still the best OTA antenna made. If you were in winds high enough to do damage you should have lowered the antenna. The same can be said for satellite TV antennas. I would rather have the better reception 99.9 percent of the time knowing I might be inconvenienced on rare occasion by high wind.

our '16 itasca suncruiser came with the amplified jack antenna....and i hate it. the jack is fine if we're in an urban area where a paper clip would function as an OTA antenna but otherwise not so much. i looked into swapping it for a winegard batwing but that would've left a large, unsightly hole on the interior ceiling. we also have DISH network in the MH and use that to get local TV.

They can be purchased at Camping World or on Amazon and other places.

I would look at replacing the whole antenna assembly. Look at the link to Amazon I posted.

Not likely. Could you take a picture and show us what you have to tell us the year, make and model of your RV so we might speculate about what you have?

The Wingman add-on does not make the Sensar (batwing) "high definition/digital", it does increase the signal gain of the built-in UHF antenna section though. Even an old pair of rabbit ears or a paper clip is capable of receiving "high definition/digital" programming if the signal is strong enough. Radio signals are radio signals...

You are right Duch but all the stations came in better.
