2026 Winegard RV Gear Guide: Antennas, Satellite & Connectivity

Whether you’re a weekend camper or a full-time RVer, the right mix of TV, satellite, and internet gear makes every trip smoother. Winegard offers a full ecosystem of RV products designed to work together—so you can watch live TV, stream your favorite shows, and stay connected on the road.

This 2026 RV gear guide walks through the main Winegard categories and helps you decide which solutions fit your rig, travel style, and budget.

1. RV TV Antennas: Free Local Channels Anywhere You Park

From Classic Crank-Up Antennas to Low-Profile Domes

Winegard RV TV antennas are built for life on the road, delivering free over-the-air (OTA) local channels in HD where available. Models range from traditional crank-up antennas to sleek, low-profile designs that stay put while you drive.

When you’re comparing RV TV antennas, think about:

• Omnidirectional vs. directional — Omnidirectional antennas pull signals from all directions with no aiming, while directional antennas can reach farther but need to be pointed at local towers.
• Low-profile, permanent mounts — Roof-mounted domes and low-profile antennas are ideal for RVs that want a clean, “set it and forget it” install.
• Amplified reception — Built-in signal amplifiers help boost weak signals and reduce pixelation in fringe coverage areas.

For many RVers, a modern, low-profile antenna is the foundation of a reliable RV TV setup.

2. Satellite TV Systems: Bring Premium Channels to the Campsite

Portable Domes and Roof-Mount Dishes for Serious TV Fans

If you want live sports, premium channels, or consistent TV in remote areas, satellite dishes are still the gold standard. Winegard offers portable satellite domes for flexible setups and roof-mount systems for full-time TV lovers.

Key decisions when choosing satellite gear:

• Portable vs. roof-mount — Portable domes are great for owners who change rigs or want to move the dish for a clearer view of the sky. Roof-mount dishes offer all-automatic operation right from the RV.
• Single vs. multiple TV support — Some systems are designed for one TV at a time, while others can feed multiple TVs and receivers.
• Provider compatibility — Match your dish to your satellite TV provider to ensure everything plays nicely together.

Satellite TV pairs perfectly with an OTA antenna, giving you local channels plus premium content wherever you travel.

3. Connectivity: WiFi, 5G/LTE & Smart RV Features

Routers, Antennas and RV Halo for Always-On Internet

Today’s RVers rely on internet for work, navigation, streaming, and smart RV features. Winegard connectivity solutions—including systems like the Basestation 5G and Gateway 5G—help bring home-like internet to your campsite.

Modern connectivity gear can offer:

• Multi-source internet — Combine campground WiFi, cellular data, and Ethernet (including satellite internet services) into one reliable network.
• Roof-mounted antennas — Improve signal quality by getting antennas above obstructions and away from interference inside the RV.
• Smart RV integration — With systems like RV Halo, you can connect sensors, monitor conditions, and manage devices through a single app.

If you work remotely or travel often, prioritizing a robust router-and-antenna setup pays off on every trip.

Wrap-Up: Build a System That Matches Your RV Lifestyle

The best RV tech setup is the one that matches how you actually travel. Start with a solid TV antenna for free local channels, add satellite for premium content if you want it, and layer on connectivity gear when internet becomes mission-critical.

By choosing Winegard antennas, satellite systems, and connectivity products that are designed to work together, you can turn your RV into a comfortable, connected home on wheels—ready for every trip on your 2026 calendar.
