I am surprised they don't have the antenna connected to the leveling
foot circuit. Pick up the feet and the antenna goes down.

Most of them are manual ... hand cranked.

It sounds like the opportunity to sell another $300 accessory to the
RV crowd. (a motor on that crank)

One broken antenna would pay for it.

I still wonder how many trips a year you would have to take to
amortize the costs of an RV..
My neighbor figured out it would be cheaper to fly 1st class, rent a
nice car and stay in a good hotel for the 3-4 weeks he actually used
it in a year. (based on what he paid to buy, store, maintain and drive
his diesel pusher).
I think he paid close to $180k for it and had to work hard to find a
buyer at $90k 5-6 years later. That alone amortizes out at over $500 a
day if he used it 4 weeks a year. It seemed to be a black hole he
threw money in when he had it. He said it was worse than his boat,

Mine cost me $39K, including the hitch and installation. We use it quite a bit, so I don't feel like
it's been a big waste of money. Of course, I had to have a pickup to move it, but I already had a
pickup.

I agree that the big, diesel motorhomes are made for those who have a bunch of extra money.
