    Gil:
    Do you have any knowledge of how well the pictured install worked? Can’t imagine it work well being so blocked by such a low installment

    I worked on an H in Michigan that had a installation just like that and I don't recall him having any complaints but I thought the same thing that can't be good. I would test it hook it up and put it there and see how it does before you mount it in. Make a spacer for it just raise it up an inch or two

    The sunken installation probably worked well closer to the broadcast stations. Once they got further from the broadcasters the more impact it would have had on reception.

    If you're close enough and pointed in the right direction the indoor window mounted antennas will work. The whole reason to spend so much for the Razar is to maximize coverage.

    On my previous coach I installed this antenna on the base of no longer functioning Concorde antenna. Zero roof penetrations in the upgrade.

    As an FYI - you can order a Winegard MT-8500 mount for the Rayzar antenna - it will bring the unit up 6”. It’s not cheap at $85.00, but I’m in Texas and a lot of parks are fairly remote. You will have to call Winegard direct to order.

    Default Rayzar on MT8500 installed -

    Just finished up installation this afternoon - the optional mount brings the antenna up to just above the awnings. Not too high, not too low - think its just about right.5DF19875-DCB9-405F-BBB8-A74368043CA7.jpeg

    That looks great, but not nearly as nice as that clean bright white roof.

    Ours is located at roof level, in the center. While it may be shielded by the awnings, we have not experienced any noticeable reception problems.

    We do have Dish and high speed internet streaming so we only use over the air TV when traveling and just stopped for the night.
