We have a 2019 Cougar 29BHS that we picked up last weekend. We immediately took it out to a close-by full-hookup camping area that gets great TV reception. When I tested it at the dealer earlier in the day, it was under a metal awning and the tech said that the awning always made reception suck. But, out under the trees, it wasn't any better. So, I started searching the internet on the Wineguard Omni-direction antenna and found that the Antenna Booster needs to be turned on. That began the search for the Antenna Booster. I looked behind the TV in the living room and it wasn't located there. But, I remembered that we had an area in the bedroom for a TV to mount so I checked and, sure enough, the TV booster switch is located on the mount that doesn't have a TV on it. Once I turned it on, I picked up 42 channels.
I wrote the long explanation so that somebody else knows to search for other areas on the RV than where you think it should be.
