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? ------------- 2014 rPod 178 2014 Toyota Tundra 5.7 |

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? ------------- 2014 rPod 178 2014 Toyota Tundra 5.7 |

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 http://www.amazon.com/LAVA-OmniPro-Marine-Antenna-RVHD-2015/dp/B00HF1VQP0 - http://www.amazon.com/LAVA-OmniPro-Marine-Antenna-RVHD-2015/dp/B00HF1VQP0 What are other peoples thoughts on this? Would it be an upgrade from the Continu.us antenna? ------------- 2014 rPod 178 2014 Toyota Tundra 5.7 |

The omni directional antennas are all about the same. You need to invest in a directional panel antenna to get decent amplification. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

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. ------------- 2014 rPod 178 2014 Toyota Tundra 5.7 |
