Water dripping from TV antennea

[DickGoff]

On several occasions we have had water drip from the overhead TV antennae onto the bed. Yesterday it happened again. This time there didn’t appear to have any explanation. We did have rain for a couple of days but there was no wind that might push the water into the antenna base. I took a picture of the roof this morning. You can see a puddle of water around the base of the antennae. There seem to be a low spot there. I lowered the front of the trailer to let the water runoff but the trailer is no longer level.
Is there a fix for this that you can suggest?
This is on our 2019 21C.

I think I have fixed my leaking antenna. I have concluded that the antenna was not properly installed. The “coax channel” in the base of the antenna was open to the inside of the antenna base. The King Jack manual describes on page 3, step 5 “fill the coax channel with sealant” and in the image on page 3, “Fill coax channel completely”. I pushed a small wire through the coax channel into the antenna base with no resistance. I have now applied sealant to coax channel.

Thanks for posting this question and solution; it helped me figure out the issue on my camper.

To everyone with roof leaks such as this? Doesn't this stain your headliner material? Is the headliner material porous and it drips right through? That’s how you found the leak? It feels kinda rubbery like it would just puddle up and run down the sides. I guess it does not??

My hope is that they are just experiencing dripping from the internal module that is directly underneath on the ceiling. This is used to aim the antenna. The headliner would hopefully not be affected in this case.

You are correct. My drip came out of the internal antenna unit. It did not affect the headliner.

Same with me...the leak came through the antenna unit and I felt the knob was a little wet after having washed the camper.
