Missing HDTV Antenna
I have a 2018 Jayco Eagle HT. While cleaning the roof, I discovered the TV antenna is missing, with only the base in place. Not broken off, just gone from
post. Since Jayco does not publish or define the type of antenna installed, does anyone know the make/brand of antenna they install on this model. It looked like a black King Jack in appearance. Any suggestions on best brand/model with which to replace unit.

Not looking for a smart answer
Only want to know what was installed so I can possibly purchase a like model and just reinstall the top and not have to do a complete reinstall.

My guess was a very hungry tree branch or maybe a couple of swallows.

Same thing we have on our Pinnacle. Caught a tree branch on our first trip out and lost the top of the antenna. Ended up having to replace the whole thing, not just the top, as there was damage to the wiring too.

I had to replace one that broke off and you can’t just replace the top portion. The entire antenna will need to be replaced. Not hard to replace.

Post a picture of the base, or what is left. That may help us determine what model antenna you have/had. If it's the Razar, I've got tons of experience and would be glad to help.

After a little googling, it looks like interior replacement parts are pretty difficult to find. You could try emailing them at help@kingconnect.com.
My guess is that you may end up having to replace the entire unit.
