400 without factory installed TV antenna ??

I can’t believe that there is not a TV antenna on the 2025 400 Black Canyon 
That’s like travel trailer without a bed . A TV without an antenna is useless.  And to install one is not easy.  Running wires inside those vacuum sealed walls ?
Just what am I missing on this ???

    I'm guessing there is a coax connection in your Nautilus compartment.  I have a 2021 320 and that's where my port is.  For something to do, I formed a piece of copper wire into a circle and connected it to the port.  In my driveway I get more than 40 stations!
    I also 'boondock' a lot, so a real, engineered antenna would probably work better...but I don't really watch much television when camping.

    Do you leave the cooper wire connected in your nautilus compartment ?

    @MOS2 . No...sorry, I should have been a little clearer!
    I mounted the wire to a little block, then connected a coax cable between the block and the connection on the T@B.  I got a little more creative and came up with a cheap mount to the keder rail.
    It's not a permanent mount.  I take it down and store it in the propane tub when traveling.
    I'm guessing, for $50 or so, you could buy something better.  I guess I was bored that day and wondered how it would work.
