Lights and antenna

I got a windjammer 3008 2014, we were out camping this weekend and I noticed that I would lose signal to the tv when the bedroom or bathroom lights were turns on. Has anybody had this problem?

Tv & our 3008 is really bouncy

Yes indeed! What is up with that? Our 1st trip was last week so I do not have much experience with the ins & outs of our 3008w.
Unrelated question, what about the movement of the 3008 especially when going in the front door? Like the whole unit rocks. Would like a cure for this...any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Have not noticed the rocking, but I am always checking the stabilizers all the time . I used to use regular cholks only, now I use both cholks and x-cholks. It has helped a lot.

Both LED and Fluorescent Lighting can interfere with both TV and Radio reception, particularly when you have a weak or marginal signal.

Sometimes it is only one or two lights that will interfere, and often the lights that are in close proximity to the antenna.

I know of no economical way to eliminate the interference.

I have a 2013 Windjammer 2809, the only time I've seen an "electrical" video signal problem recently was when operating my microwave. My bath lights and create-a-breeze fan are near my television and antenna.
