Vannooch,
Yes we do use a Wingman on our Winegard antenna on our 1996 Hi-Lo 26ft. Hubby says he thinks it makes some difference. We have a different make of antenna on our 2004 31ft and the Wingman doesn't work on that one.

We installed one on our 98 tow lite and it works great. We were camping a few weeks ago and saw some friends camping not far from us. They were able to pick up 3 channels with a standard antenna while we picked up 12-15 channels. The only difference was the wing man.

Cool, so they're worth twenty bucks.

Make sure you have a Winegard antenna, the Wingman does not fit on the AntennaTek antennas. That's what we have.

Didn't know that there were different manufacturers, thanks Rich.

There is also the Jack antenna that replaces the present antenna. It supposedly fits up to the existing mast.

I have been looking for real technical acid test reviews to see how it compares to a Winegard antenna but haven't had any luck so far.

I have no idea what mine is, it looks like a winegard and I assumed that is what it is, but I've never checked.
I'd better look into that before I go and order something.
Boy it sure is great to have all of you veteran rver's giving guidance to us rookies, Rich you rock brother!

The AntennaTek looks like the Wingard but has a slightly different shape than the Winegard. You will have to look for the name on the antenna head. Both our 1705 and 2310 have them.

If it say Signal Commander on the top it is made by Antenna Tek and the Wingman won't fit.
