Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Can't find TV Winegard amplified distribution center replacement


 

We have a Winegard amplified distribution center that no longer works and need a replacement.  When I search the net for a replacement, model VS-0604/6412,  I do not find any available.  In fact, I find very little.  Has anyone replaced theirs? What brand and model did you use?

Thanks!

cep1, 

Try calling Winegard at 1-800-788-4417 for RV technical support. Mon through Fri 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM CST. They were very helpful and found a unit that would work on my MH when we had the same thing happen.

Good luck,

Jim

Great idea!  I figured it would cost more to fix than replace, but will give them a call.

The TV gets better TV signal with the box off, and the DVD selection simply does not work at all...I have bypassed both until I find a replacement.

 

Thanks

Chris:

We may have already reviewed this, but please make sure you have 12 volts coming to the Winegard unit.  There will be two wires going into a plastic looking plug and the left side as you face the unit  that should have 12 volts. If you don’t have 12 volts between those two wires then that is probably why the TV antenna and the rest of the distribution system aren’t working.  I don’t know what 12 volt fuse feeds that unit; never traced it down.   I don't recall the unit itself having a fuse.

If when you turn the antenna amplifier on then you should have a red LED on the far left as you face the unit.  If you get that red LED then you probably have the 12 volts.

Just a thought

Bill
