25 - 400 black canyon antenna options ?

MOS2 · October 2025

New here and considering a 2025 400 black canyon . Been RVing for years and a number of rvs owned .

I have never purchased a travel trailer with out a tv antenna.

We travel and don’t stay put in one place long . So need some suggestions . Want to be easy to install with good results .

Thanks , Mike

Welcome to the Forums.....there are lots of different TV antennas owners have used. Most of the antenna discussion will revolve around "how far are you from a transmitter".

Some owners have antennas mounted on poles.

Here is a very old thread with the same basic ideas.

Many owners simply use the basic "off the shelf" TV antennas, of course. Here are all the threads for this.

Thanks for the reply
Don’t want any pole mounts . We are travelers. All the tv antennas we had in the passed were stock on the rv when purchased . They worked fine most of the time.

It need to mount and connect , either inside or out with out any big mod project .
i guess you can say simple , neat and works as good as standard OEM antennas

I have a simple pair of old rabbit ears, and one of the nicer "high def" antennas. The rabbit ears work perfectly. The real key, though, is how far are you from a transmitter. There are many web pages that discuss "antenna aiming" that will tell you how far away you are from a transmitter.

Never know how far …..as I said we travel and don’t set in one place long .
is there an amplified indoor antenna that’s made for RVs?

I made an antenna mount with keder stops, a metal light switch cover, and some 3/4" pvc pipe. The mount slides into the keder and when you tighten the stops in stays where you put it. You can leave it permanently, but I usually take it down. I bought a small amplified antenna that folds flat for storage, mounted it to the pvc, and just stick it up there. there is a coax in the nautilus to plug it into. What takes the most time is figuring out where to aim it, and programing the tv. If your interested I'll try a get some photos. I have maybe $40 in the whole thing including the antenna. Best thing is no permanent changes to your Tab.

By the way, I meant leave the keder mount there, not the whole antenna.
