Poor Radio Signal

I have a new jayflight 28bhbe and find radio signal to be very poor, our old trailer had great signal and our current tow vehicle has perfect signal in the bush. But our new trailer has no signal. Only can get fm radio in driveway in town.
Anyone have same issue any cures to problem?

Do you have a power booster to your TV antenna? I noticed with mine if I have that on, with it without the television on, it will diminish my radios' ability to pick up a signal.

Look at the radio for the antenna connections and make sure they go to the antenna. My antenna works but the reception is iffy in a lot of spots due to hills and trees.

In my old 2011 Eagle the antenna was mounted on the roof would get stations 150 miles away. On the 2018 eagle the antenna is mounted on the center of the slide out and reception is around 40 – 60 miles. In the truck I get stations like the old eagle 150 miles is not uncommon.

I have the same issue on my 2018 Jay Flight 29BHDB. I have checked all connections and they are fine. I have bought an secondary antenna with a booster and it doesnt do much better. Two things I dont understand, first I am parked in the same spot I was when I had my 2013 Whitehawk and I used to get tons of stations in Whitehawk. Second, some days I will get stations on my radio loud, clear, and strong. Then I will change the channel and when I come back to the channel that was loud, clear, and strong just a minute later it doesn't come in anymore.

Same problem on our new 2018 33RBTS. Same lot at campground, our 2016 32BDSW got every station. I Googled it and apparently it's a common issue with the head unit itself. I checked all connections behind unit and all were ok, even cleaned up the rats nest of wiring. Going to call dealer to see if I bring the head unit in and swap it.
