HELP! Wire Electric Brake Hubs
Camper: 2007 Keystone Outback 210US Problem: The Curbside drums, both of them, look like this. One hole has two blue wires. The other hole has two brown wires. Do I hook up the Blue to the Blue? The brown to the Ground? RIGHT NOW: Street Side: One blue and one brown is hooked to hot, one blue and one brown is hooked up to ground. WTH??? All the wire diagrams show ONLY two wires, and the same color. Jackie Newbie Wondering what she got herself into. ;)1.2KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Winegard Sensar III wall plate

Winegard makes a variety of wall plates but the basic RV-7042 would do what you want. The SensarPro does improve signal reception but it's not going to magically pull in stations when the antenna itself can't. Thank you so very much, SoundGuy! I chose to buy the wall plate and make the Sensor Pro a lesser priority - I have too many other things to spend for on this little camper!498Views0likes0CommentsRe: Winegard Sensar III wall plate

What would the connection for an amplified antenna's wall plate really be? and Does anyone know the model number for the wall plate that would go with a Sensor IV? Winegard's "for all models" instructions are not helpful. Little confused by your question :h - the Winegard SensarPro doesn't require the use of any "wall plate" as it replaces the wall plate, the biggest difference being it offers +/- 10 db of signal gain / attenuation which a conventional passive wall plate does not. The antenna cable feeds the SensarPro input, 12 vdc supplied by the trailer is connected to the SensarPro to drive it and is also routed to your new Sensar IV antenna head which contains a signal amplifier of it's own, and the SensarPro provides 2 outputs which can be used to feed up to 2 television sets. I apologize. The current plate that came with this new-to-me camper has no way to hook up the two TV cables (Air and outside RV park cable)to the one output. There is only the 12V socket. Should I choose to NOT go with the SensarPro . . . what would be the correct wall plate to put in the camper? I am guessing it needs the splitter component and a 12V feed to the antenna input? As my camper is small, I don't need two TVs, and where I tend to go (rural, boonies), I am also not sure the signal gain would be worth while. So, is the SensarPro really worth the bucks? I've owned this thing a whole two months, so please bear with me! :)497Views0likes0CommentsRe: Winegard Sensar III wall plate

The OP has told us he has a Sensar III antenna so his Winegard wall plate contains no "electronics" as it has no ability to amplify the signal. When the switch is depressed and the light is on the wall plate routes 12 vdc power to the antenna head which does contain an amplifier that does boost signal strength. That switch also routes the output from the antenna head to the wall plate's output connectors, one on the front of the wall plate, a second located on the PC board which can be connected to a second television set. When the switch is retracted, the light goes out, 12 vdc is disconnected from the antenna head, and the cable feed located the side of the RV instead of the antenna head is routed to those two output coax connectors. NO "electronics" involved. Yes, one can still buy an amplified Winegard wall plate for older non-amplified Sensar I and Sensar II heads but there's little reason to these days when the better solution is to replace the older non-amplified Sensar with the latest amplified Sensar IV which includes the Wingman UHF array. If the OP wants to improve reception I'd recommend he add a Winegard Wingman to his Sensar III, in effect making it a Sensar IV. The next improvement would be to replace that non-amplified wall plate with a Winegard SensarPro which does offer +/- 10 db of signal amplification / attenuation. I've done both. Brand new newbie here with a 2007 Keystone outback. I just swapped out an RV-6004 (Sensar I?) head for a Sensar IV head. The Wall plate has only the 12V socket (which I like because I plug in my XM radio), but no splitter or anything. Just two cables hanging inside the ceiling. Is the Sensor Pro really that good? What would the connection for an amplified antenna's wall plate really be? and Does anyone know the model number for the wall plate that would go with a Sensor IV? Winegard's "for all models" instructions are not helpful. Thank you so very much.497Views0likes0Comments
