 Topic: Antenna VS TreePosted: 10 Aug 2014 at 11:34pm |
|
My antenna took up a fight with a tree branch. The tree branch won by breaking the plastic that bolts the antenna onto the pole that comes up through the roof line.
Question is where do i get a replacement antenna? Anyone know the make and model?

I found that the antenna is a Continu.us CA-2500B, however all the phone numbers I tried wont sell directly to the public. Camping World is trying to locate such item but is having troubles. I also left a voice mail with Forest River part department and awaiting a call back. Anyone know of a good replacement or a place to find a direct replacement?

Forest River should be able to hook you up. May take them a day or two.

So after browsing around a bit I found the LAVA RVHD-2015
What are other peoples thoughts on this? Would it be an upgrade from the Continu.us antenna?

The omni directional antennas are all about the same. You need to invest in a directional panel antenna to get decent amplification.

Wasn't really looking to upgrade as a rarely use it. Just looking for a replacement for the damaged one. Something with a amp and am / FM connection as well. Same connections as the original.
