I live off grid and use an antenna for TV reception. I found the LED lights I recently installed in lamps cause or create signal interference with both our TV's. I don't know if this carries over to LEDS & RV's but putting this out as a possible consideration if you are experiencing poor Antenna reception and have LEDs.

Yes it does, Many LED's generate significant amounts of Radio Frequency Interference, and Television, is, well, radio with moving pictures. (To an antenna, be it Analog TV, Digital TV, Constant Carrier, PSK-31, Olivia, SSTV, EasyPal, AM, FM, SSB, Binary, CW, or whatever. it's all radio).
I'm also using an over the air antenna and turning on or off a light kills the signal for just a second, both flourescent or incandescent do it, I have LED lights around my rear bed platform, under my awning and folding steps and they have no effect on my reception, my tv and antenna are both up front and my awning LED is close to both (about 3') but turning on a normal light 30' away will do it, I'm fulltime 4 days now and am hooked up 50 amp. Ideas ?

More weirdness, I have a 110 V AM/FM/alarm clock radio on my nightstand, when I turn OFF the 12 V LED light around my bed AM reception quality drops and I get high pitch frequency noises, turn the LED lght ON and it gets quiet and better signal strength and sound quality, ?.

I don't have anything more than the quick loss if signal when turning the lights off...i can even use the microwave with out loss of signal, just the 12v lights shutting off...strange but not losing sleep over it,lol
