Review on Metra 44-US01R: Premium Side or Top Mount Rubber Antenna for Enhanced Signal Reception by Ted Slaughter

Well here we are talking about an obsolete RV part that works and installs in a few minutes with parts swapping can be. I bought it for a 1998 Sunline Solaris. It uses the exact same mounting holes. To connect it to my antenna cable I had to replace 2 parts from my old antennas. The ball mount for the mast (antenna pole) needs to be toggled and the end bolt with rivets that goes right over the ball mount. The reason I had to swap the 2 parts is that the bolt diameter on the new antenna is a larger diameter so it doesn't match my antenna wire. I had to use the old ball mount because the old stud bolt had a large head and the mast shaft could not fit into the new ball mount because the bolt head was sticking out too far. Two minutes to swap 2 parts. Metra must have made the original old antenna because almost all swaps and roof mounts are basically identical. And yes, I tune in to many radio stations very clearly.
