• 3G/4G filter.
• No tinkering required.
• Does not cost a lot of money.

• Omnidirectional design.

Antop provides us next with this UFO-like TV antenna. What you get in the box along with it is mounting hardware, an AC/DC power adapter, a power inserter, a 33-foot cable, and a manual.

The antenna is shaped like a UFO, so that it can reach out in an omnidirectional 360 degrees and not be limited by a typical antenna shape. Normally, you have to tinker with the antenna to get the perfect reception, so that isn’t the case at all with this one.

The antenna can grab a reception from 55 to 65 miles away, so you can be sure that you get local channels no matter if you are in the city or its outskirts. The reception is rather long, which is very fruitful, albeit the quality may not be great the further the cable sources are.

This next Winegard TV antenna for RVs is considered a vastly premium model that is capable of much more. Included with the antenna is mounting hardware, a 30-foot cable, a reflector, a mounting plate, and more.

This is a satellite dish, not a basic TV antenna. Therefore, it is capable of receiving channel beyond what you can receive within a 50 or 60-mile radius. If you have a Dish TV service, receiving these channels is simple. Otherwise, you would have to stick to the free  local cable.

BUYER’S GUIDE

1. How to place RV TV antenna?

Most RVs should have a designated place on the roof for you to install your TV antenna the easiest. You will require tools and hardware mounting supplies, but fortunately, almost all TV antennas will come with the latter for you. So long as you read the instructions in the manual carefully, you should have little to no trouble installing the antenna and getting it up and running.

2. How to get better reception on camper antenna?

Of course, TVs for RVs are enjoyed most of the time in setting where there are a lot of tall trees around. This could possibly obstruct the TV antenna’s signal and keep it from giving you a crystal clear picture. Try to avoid parking your RV near tall trees, building, valleys and mountains, as you want to be sure that your installed antenna has 100 percent exposure to the sky. It is also important that your antenna is installed on the highest point of the RV and not somewhere where you can access it yourself, so that your TV gets the best picture quality possible.

3. What additional hardware is required?

You are required to have either a power inverter, a portable generator, or another AC power supply so that the TV in your RV can turn on, as well as possibly have a receiver should you own a satellite and have a subscription from a satellite provider.

CONCLUSION

The best TV antenna for RVs is none other than the Winegard RVW-395 Sensar DTV/HD TV Antenna.

Winegard has been in the TV business since 1954, and still are doing business for good reasos. Winegard Sensar IV is the best antenna for its quality and value. It’s a simple antenna, but it comes with all the essentials to ensure that you have a stable connection and a flawless reception to get all the local channels in the area.

It may look rather brittle, but don’t judge a book by its cover, as it will stay up and continue to work. Unless you snap it by driving under a low clearance, that antenna is not that easy to break.

On top of that, it is very reasonably priced, and it not a hard ask at all for any kind of RV owner. These are the reasons why the Sensar IV is the best TV antenna for RVs.
