Trees trees trees!!!

Tree branches are the number one killer of antennas on an RV and the iAntenna is not immune.

When a tree branch does demolish the antenna on your coach there is a quick fix to get you back on your feet while waiting for a replacement antenna

A customer submitted two photos with some suggestions:
  1. Find a 3/8" inner diameter plastic tubing that is a minimum of 6" long.
  2. Glue the tube to the antenna base with Super Glue (watch your fingers). Note: this should be one of the thicker type glues for better filling.
  3. Fill the top with glue from a hot glue gun.
This is only a temporary fix because when the tube fills with rain water, it ceases to function.

Have a look at one customer who used an after market antenna with his iAntenna.
