Antenna falling off the roof

[Eric32680]

Antenna is missing off the roof. I had a Winegard Z1 and got home from a trip and noticed it was gone. I don’t think I hit a limb or anything no marks on roof or other near by things on roof. It is the lowest thing up there have pole mounted 4G antenna just behind on ladder stick up 6” above tv antenna. So guess the question I have is do these guys have a history of just disappearing off roof and what could or should I’ve done to keep it on there. I will have to replace it but can’t find mid parts. Has anyone ever had to deal with this. Motor home is 14 months old.

Could somebody have gotten up there, and swiped it?

[Eric32680]

I guess possibly but think it just flew off, the 4G one on ladder still lot more money. Have not been stopped long any where. Oh bikes on ladder. So don’t think so.

[Bob Denman]

So how was it attached up there?

[Eric32680]

Factory install just finished 10k 3 month trip. Was on there night before we used it.

It is made of first class recycled plastic. The one on my Hurricane broke after 6 or 7 months of use. Winegard told me to pound sand when I asked about warranty service so I replaced it with one from Amazon. I also added a pole mount so-called 200 mile house antennae that attaches to the ladder. With the cheap Winegard on the roof I get 25 channels sitting in the driveway. With the pole mount I get 65 channels. The reception on these low profile antennae suck. I liked the old crank up style that was on my older coach.

Did you replace with different vender antenna? I was thinking about the King jack

[Lt Keefer]

Went with same brand. I already had the parts for the pole antennae as the factory install never pulled in many channels when camping in rural areas.
