Winegard RV-7042 White Wall Plate Power Supply

It's a cinch to use. There were no 12 volt outlets in our four-year-old camper. We'd had to rely on "ghetto" battery bank connections and portable battery packs. I had had enough. Thankfully, I came across this when I was looking for a way to replace my current coax antenna port with one that had a 12 volt outlet. It works perfectly, and the antenna is still functional. Going forward, I shouldn't have any trouble keeping the family's iPhones charged.

It was simple to set up as a replacement for a unit that had been struck by lightning. br>br>The auxillary connection in the back was a neat find. There are three coax ports on the device. One of them is the in- antenna's feedline The in-depth examination is the second. The campground's CATV feed line. The third link is an out-of-the-box connection. feed into a second coax outlet I used the auxillary connection to replace a coax plate in another part of my RV. It works great and has a lot of power. br>br>Check the fuse in the RV panel if the light does not work after installation. I accidentally tripped the circuit by touching wires. This product is entirely DC, but make sure the power and ground wires are connected to the proper locations. br>br>I also secured the coax to the unit with a wrench. With all of the vibrations that come with traveling, I wanted the coax connections to stay secure.

Antenna representing the United States of America As a replacement for a failed unit from a different manufacturer, it performs admirably. I was unable to find a suitable substitute for the Continu- This was a very good antenna for a US brand. Other power supply manufacturers do not include AM/FM leads on their power supplies, so I had to install a separate FM antenna. This was a huge success, and the reception was greatly improved.

In my 2013 Roadtrek Motorhome, I purchased this to replace a single antenna amplifier switch. My only concern was having a 12 volt outlet that drew power from the house batteries rather than the car batteries. the battery that starts the engine I simply connected the existing 12 volt clip-on wires from the replaced amplifier to this new one with a 12 volt outlet, removing the old amplifier plate in the process. I even went a step further because there was a separate A/B switch for switching between the roof antenna and a cable hookup, as well as a splitter in another small box. This single unit not only replaced three, but it also allowed me to free up more space in the AV cabinet (which is always an issue in small motorhomes) and make the installation look cleaner. I didn't need anything else besides one of those female 2 sided cable connectors, which allowed me to use the existing cable behind the motorhome's wall and only had to fish it about 6 or 8 inches with a wire hanger. Basically, writing this review took me longer than installing the unit. I no longer need to use the inverter because I now have a 12 volt house battery outlet for my CPAP machine. I'm not sure why Roadtrek didn't use this setup from the start, because it's likely less expensive and requires less installation labor than the original three-unit setup, which does exactly the same thing but excludes a very usable 12 volt outlet that draws power from the house batteries. Everything worked perfectly after a test. It's nearly impossible to screw up this installation, but some will undoubtedly succeed in doing so, and they'll be the ones who give this unit a one-star rating.

And it's simple to set up. This device allows me to watch my 12 volt television without using my generator or using shore power, which was exactly what I needed. It's simple to put together and it works.

I'd been having issues with my roof connection to my RV's antenna, and after eliminating the possibility that the connector was defective, I decided to replace it. It has been replaced and is now working perfectly.

It appeals to me. I prefer it when Amazon's servers don't give my account a one-star rating. As a result, I'm going to give it five stars. The button is functional and the color is white. It is capable of producing 12 volts.

It's a 2010 model that was on clearance at the time of purchase. Here we are, four years later (at the start of this summer - My antennae were not working (it was my first camping trip). I quickly realized why when I unplugged the outlet. Corrosion covered the entire back of the device, as well as the circuit board and all of the connections. On the inside of the walls, I noticed moisture. The moisture was caused by condensation because Jayco did a poor job of insulating the interior. The siding's interior is visible. Only insulation should be visible. br>As a result, I purchased this "Winegard RV-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 7042 White Wall Plate Power Supply" from Amazon (which, by the way, was a lot cheaper than the RV dealership). With one exception, I installed this. After making my connections, I used liquid electrical tape to cover the back of it and then reinstalled it. Hopefully, this will keep the condensation from corroding the metal. My thoughts are as follows: br>br> Campers can be thrown together quickly and for a low cost. As a result, I believe that anyone could have the same issue that I did. If this happens again, I'll investigate a better condensation solution. However, this is not the product's fault.
