Expert Answers about RV Antennas


  • Troubleshooting TV Signal Furrion Omnidirectional Rooftop RV Antenna
  • Your antenna, such as the 12V Furrion Omnidirectional Rooftop RV Antenna, # FAN73B7C, should be connected to the cable that twists on to your RV TV (see attached photo). If you don't have an antenna on your travel trailer then you won't be able to use that function on your TV. If you do have an antenna then you'd need to either follow the wire that is connected to this part on your TV so you can see if there is a box to power on or contact your trailer manufacturer or dealer to see if they...

  • Can You Replace The Antenna On A Furrion Vision S RV Camera System Monitor
  • Unfortunately, the antenna is not replaceable on the monitor for your Furrion Vision S RV Camera System # FOS07TASF. It actually wires to the circuit board inside of the monitor unlike the camera which has a replaceable screw on antenna. You would need to replace your monitor with part # FR47FR in order to continue using your camera system.

  • Troubleshooting Lack Of Channels On A Jensen RV Television
  • If your Jensen LED 110V RV TV # JEN44FR is wired properly to your antenna and you're still having issues finding channels it's most likely not the tv's fault and is just a signal issue. My parents spend a majority of their weekends throughout the year camping and they have a top market antenna and still can't get channels in many locations. Parking your camper away from trees and other obstructions to give your antenna the clearest view is going to be the best bet at receiving a signal....

  • Channel Scan for Antenna Connection on Jensen LED RV TV

Then you will need to run a channel scan. Select menu on the remote, use the right arrow on the remote to highlight “Channel” and press enter to select it....

You can usE the antenna from the antenna extension kit. If you are having reception issues you might consider the Voyager # WVOSAPANTEXT. This kit will allow you to place your antenna 10 foot closer to the monitor receiver and hopefully improve reception. The bracket for this antenna mount will screw...

  • Troubleshooting All Functions Working on iRV35 Stereo Besides Radio
  • Since the only thing that isn't working for your iRV35 Stereo is the radio function but you're still getting static, it leads me to believe that the antenna on your Rockwood got damaged in the storm you had. Try finding where the stereo is connected to the antenna and trace all of that wiring for damage as well as the antenna itself and then replace parts as necessary.

  • How to Improve Poor AM Radio Reception of Furrion DV1230BL RV Stereo
  • I spoke with the folks at Furrion who tell me that their stereos (for whatever reason) do not include an AM antenna. The antenna that's installed OEM is FM only. To get good AM/FM reception, you'd need to install an aftermarket antenna like part # AN150SR.

  • Troubleshooting Limited Signal with Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera
  • The Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision - Rear Mount - 4.3" Screen # FOS43TASF sounds like it simply has electrical interference or has obstructions causing that weak signal. You may want to replace the antenna with # 772577 and you should put it straight up in the air. The best option in my opinion is to use extension # WVOSAPANTEXT to put the antennas closer together so the signal is stronger.

  • What Causes Signal to Drop on Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System While Driving
  • In regards to the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System part # FOS43TASF, there are a few things that can cause the rear camera to lose signal while traveling. I first recommend checking the antenna on the camera to ensure it's pointed towards the monitor as best as possible. It may also be necessary to move the camera and or monitor to a clearer line of sight from one another. If the truck or trailer has aluminum panels like an F-150 or Airstream this can cause signal interference,...

  • Troubleshooting An Antenna That Only Works When The Lights Are Off
  • The Gustafson 12V RV LED Reading Light # 277-000494 should only pull around 0.25 amps so it's unlikely that you're dealing with a power draw issue, but it wouldn't hurt to check anyway. With a multimeter # PT89ZR test the power at the antenna with the lights off and on. If you're receiving less than 12 volts at the antenna when the lights are on but getting a full 12 volts when the lights are off then they're just drawing too much for the circuit to fully power the antenna. This could...

  • Troubleshooting the Voyager WiSight Wireless RV Backup Camera System
  • My first thoughts on your Voyager WiSight Wireless System, # WVOS541, are, there is an issue getting a strong wireless signal. You've checked power to the monitor but what about the camera and antennae, please verify that too. If you are getting the 12v power to the antenna you may still have issue with the connection though. I suggest thoroughly cleaning the antennae and checking for damage. If you need to replace, I recommend using # PXXHD0006301R.

  • Troubleshooting Poor FM Signal with Furrion RV Stereo # DV1230BL
  • The only thing I can think of that would disrupt the FM radio performance on your Furrion RV Stereo # DV1230BL is that the antenna cable isn't secured properly and may just have a loose connection to the jack. On the back of the stereo there should be a blue cable going to the antenna jack, which is located on the lower left hand portion of the unit. I have attached an image to assist. Make sure the cable is securely attached and this should hopefully clear up the signal.

  • Troubleshooting A Jensen AWM968 RV Stereo System That isn't Playing AM/FM Stations
  • If the stereo has been reset and you have no loose connections then you could try testing the antenna and cable running from it to the stereo with a different stereo to confirm that they aren't the problem. If another stereo works with the cable and antenna then there's an internal issue with your Jensen AWM968 and it would need to be replaced. If this is the case then I recommend switching to the # JWM60A since it's the closest option to what you currently have function and size-wise.

  • Furrion Vision S Rear Camera no Signal, Stopped Working Suddenly
  • So based on what you described with your Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System # FOS05TASF, with it suddenly stopping working while traveling and working while hooked to the monitor, the best guess is that the antenna on the camera is the issue. Take a look at the camera's antenna and see if it is possibly loose, even a smidge; if so that can effect the transmission between the camera and monitor. If it is not, then see if there is possibly any type of corrosion or other damage...

  • Static Sound from RV Speakers
  • If the static you are hearing on your Jensen Stereo part # JWM60A is only when the radio is being played then the issue is most likely with your antenna. I would try adjusting the antenna to see if the static goes away but it not then the antenna may be bad and will need to be replaced. For this, I recommend the Jensen Antenna part # 44US01R which is both a top and side mount. If the static you are hearing is both with the radio and other multimedia inputs such as CD/DVD's then the issue...

  • Troubleshooting Hopkins VueSMART RV Backup Camera that Won't Stay Connected to Phone
  • Where is the camera positioned on the rear of the camper? According to the folks at Hopkins, the # HM34FR trailer back up camera works best when the camera/antenna is placed at the top of the camper's back wall so that the antenna extends just a bit over the height of the roof. This maximizes the range of the camera. The camera has a 50 foot range when unobstructed, but the camper can prevent communication between the camera and your phone. Raising the camera would be your best bet,...

  • Troubleshooting Furrion Back-Up/Obversation Camera Connection
  • You can unpair your camera and monitor, and then attempt to pair them again using the setting on your monitor. If you get connection and all is well, you know they simply became unpaired and have solved your connection issue. If the connection is not resolved, then you know that the fall has in some way effected the receiver on your monitor and you will want to replace the system. Although the camera can be bought individually, the monitor cannot. You will want to replace the system...
