Many motorhomes and travel trailers come from the factory with an economy antenna for local TV reception that uses an interior crank to raise and rotate the antenna. These fragile antennas often get damaged by tree branches when the owner forgets to lower the antenna before driving. Plus these antennas are not capable receiving digital broadcast signals.

The Jensen ANHD20 series of antennas provide a more user-friendly product because they are omni-directional and therefore do not need to be rotated to aim at a broadcast signal. Furthermore, the Jensen antenna is a low profile stationary mount which does not need to be raised or lowered ever. If you own one those old crank-up bat wing antennas, you've probably wished there was a better way.

Installation is simple by drilling a small hole in the roof for routing the included 12' coax cable. The antenna has a mounting foot that attaches to the roof with the three included screws. Then the installer or owner provides their own silicone sealer. The antenna locks into the mounting foot and is secured with a single fastener.

Inside the coach, the amplified wall plate requires 12 volt power and connects to the coax cable from the antenna, and then connects to the coax cable for the television and also provides an FM signal cable for radio. The wall plate also features a 12 volt outlet for any 12 volt electronics.

If the dealer or owner is replacing an old bat-wing style antenna, then a separate installation kit should be ordered, part number ANHDADAPKIT. Or one can purchase the antenna and the retrofit installation hardware as one package with part number ANHD20RTL12.

This item is sold as a new installation application, where there is no terrestrial antenna currently installed on the roof.
