Potential Problem with TV antenna

[Bruce Lenhardt]

Just a heads up on a potential problem. I was washing the roof our our Monty and noticed that the fold-up TV antenna was rubbing the rubber roof membrane. The aluminum front blade was in partial contact with the roof. I believe this would have rubbed a hole in the rubber had I not corrected it. To prevent it from happening again I bent it slightly upward.

good idea as they all could get bent just from the wind on the rd john

I had noticed this on my rig six years ago and placed an extra piece of Eternabond underneath the tip of the antenna. It's good to remind us of this.

Ah yes...something I should do before running to Branson...I have some Eternabond in my truck...

Good catch Bruce,

Seems to be a common problem. Someone posted that the antenna had rubbed a hole in the roof in transport to the Dealer, and they caught it in the PDI. I imagine wind and heavy snow can distort it somewhat.

Thanks for the info, I checked mine it needs to be adjusted.

Bruce, Thanks for the heads-up

FYI - if you intended for your photo to show up in your signature you need to put [IMG] in front of the url (leave the [/IMG] at the back like you have it).

Thanks Bruce, it's good to knowthings like this. Iwas just up on the roof today installing smoked vent covers and the Antenna looked ok, but I am going to put a piece of tape under it tomorrow!!
