Re: Antenna issues
I'm not saying other RVs have the same issue. I'm saying their picks up well and ours does not. "As Well meant as good as" in my first post Bumpyroad wrote: rockhillmanor wrote: thelehans wrote: Our antenna is not picking up channels as well as other RVs near us. We are thinking there is an issue with the wiring or maybe we need to upgrade the antenna? We purchased used a year ago (2013 model year). Would a replacement antenna be beneficial? Is there a way to test the wiring? If 'all the other RV's' parked where you are are having the same problems why would you think it's 'your' antenna! :W Sounds like the location, trees etc is the problem. Look at which way the antennas are pointed on the RV's that claim they have no channels either......and point yours in another direction. One thing I think some people miss with turning the antenna for digital TV is that you have to slowly "inch" your antenna around to catch the digital signals. Not like in the old days when all you had to do was give the antenna a spin and you'd have a ton of channels signals. The further away the signal is being broadcast the slower you need to turn you antenna so you don't miss it. I think "well" means "good" bumpy507Views0likes0CommentsRe: Antenna issues

Thanks! We will look into the booster. We've had other RVers come over to help so I'm confident we're doing something right... I hope. Our main concern is college football season!! Can't miss those games! Wiscampsin wrote: Is your booster on? Does your antenna point the same direction as the ones with a better signal? If it's a Batwing consider installed a Wingman. Took me longer to climb up and down the ladder than it did to install and made a big difference. https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=wingard+wingman&tag=mh0b-20&index=aps&hvadid=78134106147818&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_2cv9q9947l_e507Views0likes0CommentsAntenna issues

Hi everyone! I have a golf cart question. We are in the processing of finding one to purchase but we want to be able to haul it on a platform type system on the back of our 5th wheel. Does anyone do this and if so, any recommendations or advice? I would really like a 6 seater but if that's not possible for towing, we would be ok with a regular sized 4 seater. Any advice appreciated!1.6KViews0likes8Comments
