BURLINGTON, Iowa (November 8, 2016) — Winegard, the leading U.S. antenna manufacturer since 1954, is continuing to reinforce its relationship with Forest River Incorporated. The Winegard Rayzar z1 amplified HD digital RV antenna is the exclusive over-the-air (OTA) antenna on all Forest River XLR Nitro, XLR Thunderbolt, and XLR Hyperlite lines of fifth-wheel toy hauler RVs built at Forest River’s Plant #45.

"Winegard has been proven in performance, quality, and reliability over the years. We are proud to have this offering available for our valued customers."

The Rayzar z1 offers RVers the best features and performance, including: Optimal UHF and strong high-band VHF reception; easy rotation and no cranking up and down required; and a sleek and aerodynamic low-profile design with a small footprint that complements any RV.
