Don’t have one yet, but in my research, the ConnecT 2.0 is not testing well in applications that have metal roofs. It’s a one piece design so the antenna that “broadcasts” into the vehicle for connection to your WiFi devices is actually outside in the unit’s base — the interior signal has to go through your roof. Not a problem for lesser RV’s with Fiberglas or rubber roofs, but a potential signal killer for all-metal vehicles like Airstreams, Wanderlodges and, of course, Newells. Winegard still sells the 2 piece units with the separate interior antenna. It’s not the sleek dome of the 2.0 and is slightly older technology — I suspect this is what Richard has.
It would be nice to hear from someone who has real world experience with the 2.0 unit in a Newell.
Almost forgot, unlike earlier models, there are no external connection ports/jacks on the 2.0 so you can’t add a separate internal antenna.
