Don’t Wind Test Your TV Antenna!

How many times have you seen RV’s tooling down the road wind testing their RV antenna? You’re thinking, “Yeah, but that will never happen to me!” If you RV long enough it will happen to you, it’s only a matter of time and one incidence of carelessness and you’ll join the many who have already wind tested their antennas. There is however one simple device that will help prevent you from doing this and it is the “Antenna Saver”. You can buy this device at most RV stores or you can make your own. Either way, it’s a handy way to remind yourself to “crank-er-down” before you drive off into the sunrise. Simply attach the “Antenna Saver” to your TV antenna crank handle when traveling and when you put the antenna up just take the “Antenna Saver” and (for motorhomes) attach it to your steering wheel or sun visor. For travel trailers and 5th wheels, attach it to your King Pin housing or tongue crank or other similar location that will remind you to “crank-er-down” before take-off. If you have other ideas of where to place this handy reminder please tell us in the “comments” section below. Jim
