TV antenna goes out when I turn on a light

Anyone else have this problem? When I'm watching antenna TV, if I turn on one of the LED lights the antenna signal goes out.

I have used my antenna once or twice to see what it was capable of. I never experienced an "outage" though when turning on a light. I'm out camping now and may experiment with that a bit further though and get back with you since I also have the 2016 X254. I'm camping again next weekend when Michigan plays Notre Dame. I checked and I'm about 45 miles from two different NBC towers and hope to pull the game in on one of them (if both are broadcasting it). Go Blue!

That hasn't happened to us and we have a different trailer.

Just for clarification to help someone else help you...
Does your trailer have the Jayco TV antenna and TV amplifier?
By 'goes out' do you mean the amplifier light goes out or you loose the TV station?

What is the charge level of your battery?

I tried duplicating your problem but could not. Which light specifically alters your signal? I think once you get everyone's questions answered here, I'll use that info to zero in and try again for you. I'm twenty miles NNE of Lansing, MI and my "Anntenna Point" app says I'm 17.7 miles from the tower I'm tuned to.
