ABSTRACT:
A low profile, compact television antenna for use on vehicles such as recreational vehicles. The antenna of the present invention uses snap-fastening assembly for ease of assembly and disassembly. The overall profile of the antenna has been reduced to two inches to reduce the effects of wind resistance against the antenna as the vehicle on which it is mounted is moved. The antenna also has improved stability. The angle of bend of the wing tips of the antenna wings have also been reduced to reduce the overall profile and to reduce oscillation of the wing tips against the roof of the vehicle. The antenna of the present invention also includes an integral leveling block for engagement with an antenna support boom. The leveling block is integrally molded with the housing to provide a stronger, lighter weight, more compact structure than the prior separable leveling blocks.
