TV Antenna

Well, yesterday, I did it, after washing the roof on my Monty, I left the Antenna up and drove home. Needless to say, I caught something with it, and it broke. Looks like it just wont raise and lower. Just looking to see if anyone has had this problem and might be able to point me to what I need to do to fix it, maybe what replacement parts I need. Thanks

You broke the gears and houseing on the inside.Not a big deal to replace,Take it apart at the crank handle and see what the damage is..been there done that.

Thank you for the tip, I will do just that. I was hoping I would not have to replace the whole thing. I thin I did damge to one of the bars the head is attached to, but that was obvious.
Thanks again for the assistance.

Sorry to hear about the trouble, Ed. I know someday I'll do that same thing. Your local RV dealer probably has the replacement parts. Back on our first fifthwheel, an old 1985 Wilderness we bought in 1996, the TV antenna had some problems and needed some new parts. I got the parts at an RV dealer. I never got around to installing them, though, so can't help with that.

Yeah, I found out you can just buy the parts, so at least I dont have to invest in a whole new system.
