I have lost my am radio reception and have bed told that my antenna is not grounded. Can anyone tell me how the outside antenna is grounded on my 2002 Intrigue?

Which one are you referring to? The one in the bedroom or the one up front? IIRC, I don't think either one of them is grounded.

Both units have no am reception. I was told that most antenna's ground to metal like a fender but since we have fiberglass I thought that there might be a wire strap to a ground somewhere, just not sure where to look. Both radios are connected to same antenna I think. Thanks Mike H.

What kind of radio do you have in the front? If you have the Panasonic 707 radio/rear view camera/cd player, the antenna is the CB antenna. You will find a splitter under the dash. Remove the "hood" on the dash and follow the rf cables. The CB antenna has a piece of aluminum for the ground plane. If you remove the old head knocker TV, you can see it.

The rear radio has its own antenna and it is located near the bat wing TV antenna at the rear of the coach.
