Phone and internet go out?
Yes, that was all me baby.. the other person who can't be named here loaded up and pulled out of our spot to hit the road, the other person SAID everything was take care of. Went to pull out and I heard a crashing noise, nothing around me.. what the heck? Got out of the coach.. the TV ant caught the overhead fiber optic and phone cable servicing Southeast Tucson. Needless to say I no longer have a TV ant on my coach and thousands of porn surfers were without. Sigh... Lessen learned? Never trust the co-pilot.. EVER..

:( Need a checklist. And I always do a walk around regardless, even though I trust DW.

My Anthem has a warning buzzer and dash readout if either antenna isn't stowed when you release the brake and select drive. Noel

I am the Captain and I am responsible for the walk around, and the DW let's me know too.  It's hard to miss the dash waring on the Anthem when checking the air pressure before departing. Sorry your lesson is going to be an expensive one. Thanks for sharing to let others know...it can happen.

A hang tag on the crank handle is a good reminder.

No crank on the Entegra's they are power antennas, but I still put my keys in that compartment. Old habits still work good.

Try hanging your keys on the antenna crank. (Yes, the Aspire has a crank up antenna) But never omit the final walk around.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, you have an Anthem, and you can buy the electric version from several outlets for the Wingard antenna products. Probably no a hard replacement to do on your own, as the mounting bracket is probably still up there with the electrical wires. Might want to reseal. I think I saw the electrical somewhere for about $450 retail.

This is where my Antenna saver is when I'm on the road
When I crank 'er up,,, it goes on either the steering wheel arm or the ignition key.. IN fact, (Fits real nice if the I-key is not on a ring)
