The rainy season approacheth.

How do I deal with a rotating antenna shaft (?) that lets water into the
coach? Does it come apart to install a new gasket, or ???
We put a tarp over the antenna last year, which stopped the leak


Or, what are the odds that it's not the shaft, but the signal wire
connector?

Thanks,
Ron C

You have to take it apart and look what is causing the leak. If it is a winegard batwing style unite that most RV dealers have repair parts. It is a very common antenna.
