Antenna

2018 Cardinal 3825, there is a place to screw on an antenna, am/fm?, on roof near front? Mine doesn't an antenna and the am/fm radio doesn't work. I have not been helped by Camping World, were I bought it, or Forest River.

Giv this a shot, see if one of these will work with the mount you have on your rig.

From what you are saying you only need an AM/FM Antenna. I'm only wondering that when you turn it on is the radio face light UP? If so an Antenna and if NO check the in-line fuse, as well as the fuse, in the circuit box, which may have tripped. So turn fully off and fully back on, as doing will reset the radio circuit.

A car antenna would work just fine if the connections fit. Unscrew your car/truck antenna and have someone alligator clip it to the RV mount and hold it while you test the radio, you'd find out quick if that is all you need.

This is what my RV came with. Not the best but, no holes at least. Just route the 2 ends of the antenna in opposite directions.
