The retro fit is $50 (or less on other sites)
According to Winegard's site "The Rayzar Air's multi-directional reception pattern gives it more coverage than the Sensar, which will lead to less tuning required to receive programming. It is also optimized for UHF reception, which a majority of US over-the-air stations are broadcast on.

I don't have the Rayzar Air, however; I do have the Mohu leaf 50.
I'm using it in the '83 T-1550 and have used it in the house also. It is rather versatile.
I just finished doing the 19" tv install in the T-1550 and decided to use the leaf as I don't have a roof mounted antenna on this unit.
I have a little portable 7" tv/dvd combo that I have used it with also. The portable came with a little non amplified antenna that kinda works at home but very limited.
I haven't had a chance to use the leaf away from the home front other then my work. I was surprised I got some stations from there. It is very hilly and parts of that area is dead to any over the air reception. I loaned it to a employee of mine to try at his house. He only lives 4 miles further away from work, but he wasn't able to receive any stations.
In the trailer, I just coiled up most of the slack coax cable (it is 16' long) and flopped it in the over head bunk near the tv. The T-1550 is totally encased in aluminum, including the roof. This may have some impact on the reception.
I figure in nice weather and camping, I would just toss it up onto the roof and feed it into the trailer cable jack. That is yet to be tested (next spring) to see if I benefit from doing so.
It is easy enough to use a shorter or longer coax cable if you have one or need to have one purchased or made up.
It comes with a usb to ac adapter if your tv doesn't have a usb port or won't power a usb devise.
I hope this is of some help to you.

BTW. I purchased mine from Walmart.
