Hello All! This is my first post, so I hope this goes well. I have a Sportsmen 2013 S320BHLKSS and we absolutely love it! The family and I spend our Michigan summers bouncing around the state and enjoying the outdoors. Unfortunately, our digital antenna was recently damaged and needs to be replaced. (Not pointing fingers but a beautiful brunette who is the mother of my 2 girls "may" have been involved) Anyways - I figured I'd upgrade the antenna to something more digital friendly from the stock Winegard Sesnar antenna to the new Winegard Rayzar model ( www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/rayzar-air-retrofit-hd-tv-antenna-white/78817). Has anyone done this upgrade before? If yes, any gotchas I should be aware of? (I am handy enough to get up on the roof and replace). I've downloaded the Rayzar install manual and it seems relatively straight forward. All feedback is welcomed! Thank you! Rigs

I've had one on my stone ridge 38 fl for about 6 months. I have used it twice in areas where I had previously used the sensor and did get better reception with it. Not a huge increase, but noticeable. I installed it myself. It was very easy to do if you are replacing an existing wine grad sensor. Took about 5 minutes.

There is no such thing as a digital antenna. I doubt that you can improve on what you currently have.

Thank you both for your responses. I am comforted to know the install was relatively painless.
Thanks for the clarification Lynnmor - The Winegard Rayzor is technically an "HD" antenna - optimized to receive UHF TV signals from both the front and back with a wide view of the antenna head capturing the full UHF spectrum. This doubles possible coverage area and makes it possible to receive more channels than ever before.
Knowing that - I really hope it helps with reception. The stock Sensar antenna was not the greatest.
Thanks all! -Rigs
