TV reception works fine in cooler weather, but doesn’t work during day/night in summer. Picks up channels in early morning with no problem. With on-line research; sounds like it is seasonal ducting. Is there a fix? Have a Furrion omnidirectional antenna, so don’t think I can add amplifier or if it would even help.

I’d be looking at all the F connectors from OTA coax feed , etc. It sounds more like a heat issue and either a coax connector is not installed correctly and/or a component in the “active” amplifier on the antenna has a cold solder joint , etc

“Ducting” is an atmospheric condition that traps radio waves and can affect VHF/UHF signals during warmer months.

Could be the cause but I’d be going over the electrical portion first.
