Title: So far, great
Review: Picks up 61 channels about 3 times the amount the old batwing did - before it quit working. I like that I don't have to worry about making sure it's down on move days. One less thing to worry about. The technician made it look easy to install.

Title: Seems good.
Review: It needs a coaxial cable to connect to the power inverter to make it work. Other coaxial cables are required to hook it up to your TV, as well as accept campgroubd provided cable TV.

Review: Changing my first review, After working with the Antenna, making sure it has power, it does pick up HDTV Signal, at first, I though it was only for VHF/UHF Channels which is now obsolete in Canada in most areas... Though I'm quite far from TV Towers I did pick up 6 channels, I'm sure if I was near a major city it will puck up signal and lots of channels...

Review: After I had removed the old antenna and cleaned up the sealer on the roof I laid the mounting plate on the roof in the install position. I then outlined it with a sharpy pen on the roof. That made it very simple to put the sealer on the roof just inside of the line and it also lined the hole in the roof to put the cable in. I then installed the antenna on the roof plate , put a heavy bead of sealer on the roof just inside the outline and mounted the plate to the roof with self drilling screws. When every thing was screwed down tight I then run another bead of sealer around the plate and screws.

Review: My original antenna brought in only one channel. This antenna is bringing in 18 in crystal clear quality. The signal strength indicator is a nice feature, which aids in locating the proper direction for the best signal strength. One complaint is that it does not ship with the MB200 mounting plate. The plate is an optional item. However, once you remove an existing antenna and discover that the whole in the roof is too large to be covered by the base, you are stuck and ordering the optional mounting plate is not practical. At this price point it should be included, or at leased mentioned as possibly required for a retrofit installation in the description of the product. Another issue that needs to be resolved is the rotation mechanism. My RV roof is sloped and the large square rotation shaft comes in at an angle. This causes the locking mechanism to work only at some rotational points. The square shaft needs to be able to bend to allow for the slope in the roof.

Review: I had a King Jack 8501 with the signal strength meter, but the bat-wing antenna blew off while driving. No visible damage and the King Jack people suggested it was missing a bolt in the original installation.I bought the 8401 without the meter and put the 8501 electronics into it. It works fine. The only trick was that the 8501 needs a female coax connection at one point and the 8401 only has male connections. I used a short coax female connecting wire to solve the problem and wound it around the mast.
