I didn't know this
The other day after I stopped a Class A that had their antenna, batwing, up I was told that they usually put the antenna down but since they were only going for fuel it was ok to leave it up.
You learn something new every day.

Perhaps you just didn't realize, that was their GPS antennae, not the OTA.

Larry, I think they were just ashamed to admit they forget to put it down!

That's embarrassing. I did that once, but some other campers caught me before I got of the campground.

I hang the ignition key from the antenna crank whenever the antenna is up. Don't hang it other times. That reminds me to crank it down before I crank up the coach.

I did it once. We were heading west in the morning and I saw this strange shadow in front of me.
