Hello I have been a long time lurker here, I enjoy reading all the helpful info that everyone has to share. Now I have a question, we have got our very first caravan after starting off with a tent to camper trailer, rooftop tent (which we still have) to our new family member Jayco Westport poptop. The prob I have is that the winegard aerial wont wind up, it took a lot to get the handle undone and a heap of powdery stuff fell out,
the nut ontop of the aerial is stuck, but we did squirt lubricating stuff down there but still no go, can this be saved or do we just try and some how get it out?

FancypantsPen - They sell a replacement Winegard Antenna Elevating Shaft Assembly on eBay, so it appears they are repairable.
You'll need some mechanical nous, a few tools, and a diagram of how they go together.
With a bit of luck, the new shaft assembly comes with instructions, or perhaps the seller is prepared to offer repair advice, if you contact them through eBay.
