Winegard Antenna

[[email protected]]

Does anyone know which Winegard Antenna comes standard with the Solitude models?

It isn't. It is a King Jack antenna.

I have heard here that there was a change to another antenna , looks like an upside down bucket.

Same here.

Most of the 2019+ GD Models have the Wineguard 360’s. Much better reception and no stupid crank knob adjustments!

Are there real-sounding user reviews of the Winegard product? I just did a quick search, none found even on Amazon.

It would be nice to replace the sometimes-fidgety directional King antenna, but when that one works it works pretty well. I wouldn't want to switch the antennas only to find that we get fewer stations with the Winegard.

If anyone has / gets the Winegard I hope they'll show up here with a review. Even better if it's someone with experience with the King antenna.

After staying at camp grounds that we use to stay with the old TT , with the crank up antenna , I think the King does about the same , no improvement if anything a little less in some places. I think this is due to the King being on the downward slope on the rear of our trailer. The old TT had the flat roof and the antenna was up front, closer to the road and clear of most trees.
If the 360 gets some good reviews I would make the change or if we can get some good reports here would be better. It is not very expensive , this leads me to believe that it may not be very good but who knows.

We don't use our King Jack antenna since we have Direct TV and cable at the RV park we now use permanently. However, when on the roof of our Solitude, I noticed the King is a low profile antenna and GD mounted it within 2 ft. of the forward AC unit. I suspect the AC unit blocks it when it would be rotated in that direction.

Just another poorly executed thing by GD. Any roof mounted antenna should be mounted well away from things that would block the signal. IMO, for OTA signals nothing beats the old Winegard batwing that you can raise and rotate.
