Winegard satellite antenna April 26, 2022, 05:13:59 pm Does anyone know what this plastic tube is coming out at the base of the Winegard satellite antenna? I noticed it is deteriorating.
Re: Winegard satellite antenna Reply #1 – April 26, 2022, 10:44:50 pm It's a water drain tube of some sort. Sorry I can't remember how it functions. Perhaps a parts manual for the sat antenna will tell you. One time in the 19 years of ownership of my 30' I had a very small drip from the sat antenna control in the LD - the antenna adjustment. And it happened after a severe rainstorm. I'm not sure if the water in Lake Newton backed up into that tube and dripped into the LD or not. It was a mystery.Chris 1 Likes

And "Lake Newton" is named for the most recognizable name associated with Lazy Daze, Ed Newton. Chris 4 Likes
Re: Winegard satellite antenna Reply #3 – April 27, 2022, 09:51:09 am Thanks, Chris. I do have the manual so will take a look. I don’t intend to ever use the factory installed manual satellite unit but want to keep it in working order.
