Question What is this Antenna Coachmen Concord

What is this antenna? Is it for the AM / FM for the the coach Jensen Stereo? Just not sure. I have an AM/FM fender antenna on the E450 chassis. The antenna in question is folded down in the photo. I would like to leave it folded down vs upright.

Yeah, it is for the am/fm in the coach itself, not the dash. If you leave it down, you’ll get poor reception, if that matters to you.

There is a screw in the ball you need to loosen so it will raise up, don't forget to tighten it up or the antenna will fall back down.

Even lying down like that it's better than this nine inch on the side wall. I get just one FM station 30 miles away, nothing else comes in not even the AM and FM ones 10 miles away don't come in at all. The one 30 miles away fades in and out periodically.

Yeah, those aren’t the best, for sure. Mine works great as long as my trailer is oriented in the right direction, though.
