One of my friends has that horizontal antenna on her van and trying to get reception for her is a pita, i suggested to her doing this upgrade and now you have the DIY video to follow it makes it so much easier. Thanks.

Is there a kit for mounting on the very edge of the roof and or one where it can be removed when not in use? I have very limited places because of the solar panels. Many thanks

Hi Ken, not sure mate. Best to check with the supplier to see if there is something available. Cheers Adam

be aware, the new models have a 4G filter and cost 1/4 more! So all those ‚on sale‘ offers are without filter, superseded model

@@GetCampingOz sorry, was wrong, was a mean sales trick by a store to justify overpriced item. I asked country importer and was told that G4 filters were introduced to sensar 3-4 years ago, no price rise then. So they have all 4G filters in, all little sticker on the board would tell if you pull it apart

I just had a retro fit Winegard installed by a mate replacing an Antennatek and I still can’t get it to work it keeps coming up with ‘No Signal’ with booster button engaged . I’ve tried it in a few different areas in NSW. Ive checked all the fittings and they look and feel ok. Any ideas where it may be going wrong

I’d check your getting power to the head. If you get a multimeter and test the voltage on the coax cable where it screws on to the head, you should see 12+ bolts there. If not there would be something wrong with the line that will need to be traced back. Hope that helps

I have lost signal after installing a new antenna, i think I may have damaged the cable that goes inside the caravan, is there a video that shows how to replace the cable.

Sorry to hear. I don’t have one but you could try searching. Have you tested the cable to see if it’s getting power?

I have the same antenna on my jayco van, the cable broke off in the splitter, so I ran a new cable,and replaced the splitter with a domestic one, but no signal now, what could be the problem you think??

Unsure mate. I’d start with checking if you have power. You will need undo the coax at the head and test with a multimeter to see if your getting 12+ volts. Hope that helps

We purchased a full package only 4 weeks ago and replaced our old Winegard, This new one is worse than the old one, sounds cuts in and out and picture is very pixelated, we’ve tried and checked everything, any ideas?

Thanks for watching. That doesn’t sound right. Definitely should be getting better reception. First thing I would be checking is that you are getting power to the head. You can use a multimeter to check this. Second thing I would be checking is all the connections are tight and the connections have been terminated correctly. If you still can’t find the issue maybe just double check the antenna isn’t faulty by putting the original back and and testing that. Hope that helps you resolve the issue! Cheers Adam

So it looks like the mast head needs a 12 volt power supply

The 12v is provided by the coaxial cable. It is a single connection to the head. The winegard antenna wall point has 12v run to it which then powers the head.
