I am looking to upgrade the antenna on my RV. I have heard of using the TV antenna patched in to the radio, but ours broke, so I removed it last year. I see a lot of people use satellite radio, but I wasn't impressed with the channel selections when we had it. Plus, I'm a bit sour from the last time we bought a car. The dealer signed us up for the trial even though we specifically requested to opt out. They kept calling us once a week essentially interrogating us about how we liked it. It was bad enough that I ended up blocking all of the numbers they were calling from, so I REFUSE to buy a subscription from them.
All I want is to simply upgrade the antenna. I believe the issue is that the existing antenna is getting blocked by the cab depending on direction of travel vs radio tower location. Therefore, I was thinking about installing a retractable antenna on the roof (so I can put a tarp over it without having to worry about puncturing it), but I was wondering if anybody has tried one of those shark fin antennas on an RV. If they work, that would be the easiest and cleanest solution.
