Works great!

After knocking one off my camper at a Burger King drive through, (I'm new at this RV thing but still embarrassed), I found this to be the least expensive product that had the same appearance. Installed in less than an hour after wrapping the bottom with an adhesive sealant. I went from nothing to an amazing amount of HD channels! This device works great!! I gave it 4 stars for value only because I think the whole product line is overpriced. This was the least expensive and really pulls in the channels!

Great antenna

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2019

The antenna was easy to install, as a replacement for a directional antenna. It picks up more stations with clarity. Unfortunately, I was not able to utilize the am/fm antenna lead, due to the way the antenna cable is run in my RV. But I did connect my radio to the TV 2 connection on the distribution plate. Seems to have great reception with antenna amplified or not.

Pretty good reception

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2021

Verified Purchase

This took a little longer to install than I thought it would, but mostly because I was replacing an old crank up antenna and had to figure out the best way to get to the cable from the old one, to attach it to the new one. I had to entirely remove the old antenna and fabricate a patch to the roof to cover it and then mount the new antenna over the patch. It does seem to pick up quite a few stations, depending on what's available where you are camped, and it's nice to not have to rotate the antenna to try to get the best signal.

Easy switch out and use your existing wiring. Amazing. Get one. Replace the Winegard crank up. No more forgetting to lower it.

Two strikes was enoung

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2021

I bought one of these in black, and hooked it up prior to bolting it in place. I got 5 channels, so I completed the installation. When I turned it back on there was no reception. After testing all the wiring and trying different cables, I concluded I'd gotten one with bad circuitry and returned it. I ordered another, this time in white. I hooked it up and got no reception at all. In case it was my tv or wiring, I tried hooking a homemade rabbit ears antenna (two coat hanger wires stuck into a 2x4) to the same lead, and got 5 clear channels immediately. Perhaps I got 2 bad ones in a row, which speaks poorly for this item's quality control, or perhaps it's just a poor product. At any rate it should outperform coat hangers. I returned the second one and will buy a different brand antenna from the local RV dealer.

Works excellent, got 5 more channels

From my driveway I use to get 14 channels using the old Batwing antenna and after upgrading to this I got 19 channels. Hey that's 5 channels more and no more cranking up and down. But most of all it looks clean and beautiful! Just need a bit clean up on the roof and good to go.

I just installed the RVTV-W2 Magnadyne amplified antenna in my RV to replace the old one that did not work very well. luckily the base had the same configuration as the old one so it installed fairly easily. I am now able to get FM stations that were barely audible over the hiss, and I was actually able to pull in a TV channel that was not possible before. I am happy so far!
