The phone compasses can be a bit fickle, I think metal and lack of motion plays with their tiny minds more than we would suspect. I haven't had much luck with caravan antennas, in fact we often comment on how many different directions we can spot. My first option is the onsite cabins (so long as they all point the same way) and failing that I revert to the My Switch App direction, and then use a real compass.I have never found a phone compass thats any damn good. Mind you looking at other van aerials is even easier way to point in the right direction.
Thats what I do when our antenna working I have the switch app and another..Also use the other aerials (caravan, cabin or local buildings) then use the best APP for fine tuning...... Mrs Dagree

hey @Crusty181 and everyone else here's my new antenna installed today much better picture hope it all goes well when im away
find out this weekend at Nagambie
Im looking forward to seeing it. I wouldn't expect a metre in extra height wouldn't achieve too much, and it might add too much room for damage to the winder mechanism with wind etcyes I heated up the pvc and squashed it to be flat with the 25mm alloy mast two bolts hold it on its 32mm which slips over the mast ,
the antenna comes with 25mm pvc which you can not change the top bit for hes made a system so you can turn the antenna ,
I could put a system on it to make it about 1500mm or a meter longer to add to it when im stoped but not sure what will be gained by this if its worth it ????? what do u think @Crusty181
We can compare to mine if working. ...Was working yesterday when I cleaned the van.. Which means I will have nada at Lake Nagambie.. As only works via magic or when cable break in the roof magically leans together when you pulled up and un hitched, then the wind or something else rocks the van and it goes again .. .. Reminder I need to ring today and see whats happening with it.Thats brilliant @Bluey !!! Just slips over the Wineguard SHS??? We can compare the difference on the w/e
