What is the best T/V antenna (the best bang for the buck) out there. I want to take the camper up around the red lake falls area this fall and I want to take the wife with. She needs the t/v to survive. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I have a newer LED Vizio flat screen in the camper with a DVD player now. Thanks alot,, x57x

They make powered RV antennas you can buy. But if you just want to try something cheap go to that sells site and look for something used to see what works and if it doesn't resell it on there and try another. wink

You can go two ways, you can buy the ones that mount to the camper or you can buy a digital TV antennae and find a place to put it once you get to camp.

I'm not sure what kind of TV your wife is expecting while in the Red Lake Falls area. EVen when we set up near a city like Mankato or Duluth we only get a handful of stations using the digital antennae.

If she expects more than the basic four local networks then you are looking for a satellite receiver setup.

I think she is content with a few local channels like the LMN, Hallmark,QVC etc... LOL>>>.Anyways, Is there a camper style or seasonal like satellite contract type thing with for instance the dish style type t/v antenna? If not what is a good digital? I looked at the Winegauuurd ones. Just need the direction to go with this not where to go to purchase it? Thanks

If she wants "cable/Sat" type channels than you need to look into a portable satellite setup. There are several choices out there and they are very user friendly. SOme are completely portable and others you mount the dish on the roof. FOr your setup I would check out the portable versions.

SOme are with Dish, some DirecTV. Camping World has a fairly good selection so you can see whats out there and then you can shop around for other options. We see lots of people with these when we hit the road. Its very common now.

The regular Winguard or however you spell it are only picking up over the air stations. COnsider them a modern version of the bunny ears you had on your old TV. You will pick up 3-6 channels at best and it will be local networks only. You're lucky to get the news.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
