So, home from my extended month long camping trip. Yesterday I put a ladder up and finally got all the gorilla tape off the antenna (very sticky stuff). I removed the two bolts and was able to get the top part of the antenna free of the "post". I was hoping to be able to disconnect the wires and take the antenna down, but I could not get the wires to come up out of the camper, and I didn't want to try to climb up on the roof to see what was holding them. And didn't want to pull too hard for fear of them pulling loose down in the shaft. Anyway, I used a quick setting super glue to kind of hold the broken parts in place, then followed up with epoxy. I suppose time will tell if it holds. I can only find that particular antenna at one place, on eBay. I wish I could have gotten the wires above the roof line to disconnect, because that would make replacement a lot easier if I have to do that.
