Winegard Wingman
by Mopar_Earl on 4/26/2009, 4:01 pm
I installed a Winegard Wingman on my trailer today. Was easy and quick and no tools. I got 3 more digital channels after installing the Wingman. I didn't roate the ant so I may of got even more channels. I bought it from Camping World for about 26 bucks. For more informantion go here Winegard Wingman Also you need to measure to be sure it will fit your roof. It requires 10" so you'll wanna be sure it'll clear vents and such or not hang over the side. Also it only helps the upper channels, 14 and up.
I added before and after pics.

While we were in Gulf Shores, AL we drove up to the Camping World in Robertsdale, AL to do a little RV shopping. One of the items we picked up was the Winegard Wingman. Mopar_Earl is right, it improves reception and was easy to install.
The real test will come when we camp at Carlyle Lake in IL at the Dam West Campground. Reception of over-the-air TV is terrible at this campground.
BTW, excellent pictures Mopar_Earl.

Thanks for the pictures and the information. I have been wandering how the Wingman "really" works and how much it improved reception. The installation sounded to be simple and looks good. Hopefully, other users will reply to how well it performs.

Do you have pictures of the antenna in the stowed position?

No, I dont. I'll try to take a picture of the ant in the down position this weekend. They're calling for rain, so it may be a few days.
