Rayzar Air: Great Upgrade to Your Standard RV Antenna
Dave SolbergDescription
One of the best things about owning an RV is being able to take many of the comforts from home along with you when traveling on vacation. This includes being able to enjoy watching your favorite television shows while relaxing at night after a long day of traveling on the open road, or to check weather and emergency conditions. A standard RV TV antenna has a limited choice of signals and channels available, due to the new digital signal being broadcast. With the older analog signal, we could “tweak” the antenna and get some long distance stations with a fuzzy or snowy picture. Today’s digital signal is different, it’s either on full strength, or you get nothing.
In the past we were only limited to a few channels, such as NBC, ABC and CBS when trying to watch television due to the remote locations most RVers camp at. Nowadays, with the assistance of digital and HD, we are able to get many more channel options even with a standard batwing RV TV antenna with a “Wingman Upgrade. This will double the reception distance, however the old style batwing type antenna is one direction and you will need to move it around and adjust to find channels.
The Rayzar Air is easy to install, by removing the old batwing type head and attaching it to the existing bars with just a few bolts. It’s that simple, no need to replace the inside crank mechanism, wiring, or roof top gear. After installation, your RV TV antenna will have a stronger signal and will be access HD and digital channels. Plus, it will be two directional, meaning you will no longer have to go outside to adjust your RV TV antenna. The Rayzar Air will also boost your antenna’s range by up to two times its previous range.
So, if you are looking to add some range to your existing antenna, consider installing the Rayzar Air to boost your current antenna’s range. This is an easy solution to your television needs while traveling in the RV and camping.
For years, we had limited choice when it came to signals and TV channels. We had ABC, CBS and NBC, that was about it. The old batwing antenna worked perfect for those. It was a little directional but we still got signal. With the advent of digital, now we have a lot more stations, a lot more signals, lots more HD. So, we have a variety of different places we can go. Now, we can add just an extender to that old style batwing. But it still makes it a directional antenna. We still have to move it to wherever the antenna or the signal is coming from the television station. Winegard has brought out a new antenna and it's called the Rayzar. And the Rayzar will mount on your batwing. Simply take the top head of that off, so you don't have to take any of the hardware off. You don't have to take the crank mechanism underneath. It is two-directional. So I do get a lot more signal coverage from all the different areas. Very easy to install with a couple bolts on the backside of it and the coax cable coming off the bottom of it. So it gives me about twice the signal strength. It'll get HD stations, digital broadcast stations, and it gets me about twice the range that I had before. Pretty inexpensive option rather than completely replacing the entire antenna.
Is this an old video for a product no longer available? Trying to research is after just viewing video link I just received and not finding the Rayzar Air anywhere - other than "no longer available. Am I missing something?

Hi, I have an 2015 keystone passport 195RB trailer. Will this suggested antenna boost my signal strength by twice? Can you send me specifications? Thanks Loran
