How to choose an RV TV antenna
Directional or omnidirectional. A directional antenna like the KING Jack points its gain at one tower, which usually brings in more channels at longer range. You aim it once with the meter. An omnidirectional dome needs no aiming but has less reach in weak-signal areas.
Aiming from inside. The KING Jack's SureLock meter shows signal strength as you turn the knob, so one person can aim it from inside the RV without rescanning after every turn. A classic crank-up batwing has no meter and has to be cranked down before you drive.
Over-the-air TV is free. Local network, news and weather channels need only an antenna and a TV with a digital tuner. There is no subscription.

KING guide: KING Jack vs Winegard: Which RV TV Antenna Should You Buy?
How do I aim the KING Jack?
Turn the interior rotation knob through its 360° range and watch the SureLock signal meter built into it. Stop where the meter peaks, then scan for channels on your TV.
Will the KING Jack run two TVs?
Yes. The included 12V wall-mount power injector has antenna and cable inputs and outputs for two TVs.
Can the KING Jack replace my old batwing antenna?
The OA8501 is designed as an easy replacement for an existing RV TV antenna, and the kit includes shafts for different roof thicknesses. Its compact head is up to 70% smaller than a traditional crank-up antenna, so there is nothing to crank down before you drive.
Does the KING Jack pick up VHF channels?
Yes. Its amplified head is tuned for UHF, where most digital channels now broadcast, and still receives VHF.
What power does it need?
12V DC, supplied through the included power injector.
Do you carry the white KING Jack or other KING products?
We currently stock the black KING Jack OA8501. The white version is model OA8500.
