It could be that some people just don't want to remove/replace the whole crank-up assembly with the whole Jack. Can't blame them. Much quicker and simpler to just replace the head. My...

A friend of mine (my boss and best man at our wedding :shock:) did the Winegard/Jack retrofit a while back and loved it. (He has since traded TTs.) Unfortunately, you still have to do the...

I got mine mail order from PPL Motorhome, and it didn't seem like it took very long. I see that Walmart will even get it for you - Site-to-Store. $118 from them and no shipping (Site-to-Store). That...

Yes that's the one, but I got it HERE (https://tinyurl.com/ov5q5te) (22-1485) a little cheaper than Amazon.

Sorry. I meant that AC isn't needed for the antenna itself. Your TV will plug into the same outlet. The Jack antenna power supply is powered from 12v in your TT.

AC was not needed in my installation. Only 12v DC from the battery. If you have a 12v TV, you're all set. The AC adapter would be used if you were going to install it for home use.

Lynn, mine didn't come with an AC adapter - just the 12v DC power supply. Wired it straight to the hot side of a 12v DC ceiling light fixture. Crank-up upgrades might be different, don't know.

Thanks, Tim. I wouldn't expect so, but I had to ask anyhow - given the close proximity. :)

You're welcome!

It may be slightly higher, but not enough to be concerned about. I will let you know how it does this weekend. We're going to be out in the middle of nowhere as far as TV goes....

According to the DTV maps, we'll be over 70 miles from the nearest transmitters/towers - unless there are translators closer.

Are amplified RV antennas very good at filtering out EMI from things like air conditioners? I may find out pretty soon. Going to do a little camping this weekend.

Thank you, John!

As for finding signals, my Jack has a built-in version of this signal finder (https://www.kingcontrols.com/surelock/digital_tv_signal_finder.asp). Might be worth a look.

Thanks, Gene. :) I had a right angle connector, but it broke. Kinda cheap. I'll have to get another one, or two. It would be handy in the power supply box, too.

Except for needing to do a little paint touch-up, this job is done. First time I fired it up and zeroed in on the strongest direction, the TV scanned 24 digital and 3 analog channels. Not bad.
