tightlines Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Ok all you shack builders, thanks for all the tips up to this point. I have gotten a lot of great advise from a lot of you and appreciate it. The results are that I am getting close to being finished with a great shack. I was now wondering what you guys were using for antenas for you tv's. Rememmber, this thing will be going down the road at 65. Also, can anyone tell me how to spell antena? LOL Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterwolff Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Wingard amplified R.V antenna around 130.00 give or take at most R.V dealers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightlines Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 I did look at those and thought that they may draw to much battery juice? Kinda pricey too. I did stop by a truck stop and found what they call a stealth antenna. Not very big and looks pretty simple to install. Anyone tried these?[This message has been edited by tightlines (edited 11-01-2003).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaz Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Tightlines: Get the Windgard hideaway, no amp involved, about $50.. If you do go the amplifier version, it won't take hardly any juice. I have the antenna amp on my radio and it is hardly noticed. Most of the TV stations you will watch out in the boonies are on UHF channels. They rebroadcast the networks on those channels in the smaller rural areas...Kaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tightlines Posted November 2, 2003 Author Share Posted November 2, 2003 O well. Too late on the antenna now as I already installed a stealth trucker style. Quess I will try it and see how it works. Can always change it to the windgard later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaz Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Hey, today I talked to Camping World in Rogers and they have an TV antenna Amplifer you can add in series to your antenna input to the TV, $35.00. Such a deal!! It runs on 12vdc with very little drain. This should solve the weak TV signals on the lakes, both VHF and UHF.... Kaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
