Winegard RP 3000 Elevating Gear Review

As a dummy I left my antenna up and moved the camper. Crash, says the antenna from the first branch we hit. This product was a precision replacement part and solved the problem and got the antenna working again along with the replacement aluminum brackets we installed.

Was in a mobile home, forgot to turn the antenna and when I tried to turn it it froze. I ended up going up and bending it which broke the gear. The part arrived quickly and was easy to repair. Found dirt and debris resulted in sticking gears. I blew it all up and put in a new gear with white lithium grease and it's like new!

Great, the sun cracked the lifting ear of my antenna and when trying to turn the antenna up the gear fell apart. I ordered this part and had it replaced in minutes, which saves God knows how much money and time a trucking company would have charged for the same repair. My antenna runs smooth as silk and I am very happy with the new part.

All I can say is that it worked on my broken antenna jack and solved my problem. I also installed a new worm gear. The price was ok. I wish they were aluminum or something stronger, but maybe they are designed to break before anything else if something gets caught on the antenna. Installation went well, but note that the nut on top of the worm gear (another part of this assembly sold separately) must not be overtightened or it will bind.

He used steel (not aluminum) square tubing. Very difficult. He drilled a few holes and bought a new King Controls sensor antenna replacement that came with a bracket. It is not clear to me why the original tubes were not used. Maybe he forgot to lower the antennas. In fact, he didn't use antennas. "Fake" satellite communications. (Do
