Better Antenna?

I have a stationary antenna on my fifth wheel. Not a batwing. I have trouble getting channels. Is there a better antenna that I can install?

If you are asking about a better fixed antenna I don't know however I do believe the wineguard batwing antenna with the wingman is a great antenna. Combined with a signal strength meter you can adjust it for the best reception. JMHO

Couple of things:

1) I edited the thread title for you to help highlight what you're asking, instead of it just being your name.

2) Just to be sure, you are turning on the antenna booster right?

I also want a Rayzar but it's a little pricey for a few tv channels, so I installed a Rayzar Z1 in our 5er. I even posted a thread about installing it in place of the "omnidirectional" unit that was there.

Installed Winegard Rayzar Z1 in 5th Wheel
