High Winds and Winegard, at what speed does it get bad?

[TXbound]

I've searched all over for this answer with key words like winds antenna rv and nothing comes up, It's been my practice to crank down the old winegard when the winds start picking up regardless of speeds, any idea what's safe?

I think it comes down to roof installation. The antenna itself could probably withstand winds to (SAY) 50 knots. But depending on your MH construction and roof design, I would consider a crank down at around 30 knots. I honestly find little difference in reception being down or up ?That's JMHO

Well considering this is a 97 coach I think the roof installation may not be the most solid, You say Knots instead of MPH, I'm guessing you've spent some time on the water? So 30 Knots or around 30 MPH, interesting you should point that out about being up or down, often I can only get 2 local channels with it down and than have to crank fully up to get channels like Charge and sometimes MeTV, today oddly I was able to get Charge with it down, so I'm starting to think you are right. Thanks
