Rattle noise on roof of 27b = jack tv

We have had this rattle on the roof since we bought the coach..

the jack antenna rattles like crazy on roof inspection... oh and whats up with no ladder on some of the new coaches???

any way... the thing was way loose to me so I started taking it apart...

seems who ever installed it over tight'n the inner shaft and broke it...

so the only thing keeping it form blow'n away was the nob on the inside...

if it would have blown off we would have had about a 2 1/2 hole in the roof

the whole thing is plastic...

Good to know as I assumed it is the AC on ours. Will need to check the antenna next time.

I talked with a guy with a 26'r guess the wind blew his complete off... same problem...if the installer cranks too hard it will bust the main shaft...

I don't wanna take it in cause it's a little over a 100 for a new one .. and I'm gonna screw mine together so it won't move... in 30 yrs we have never
watched tv... only movies...

Glad to know. Been looking at getting a new brave 31c. May order one with a Winegard instead.
