Kinda pricey - but yes.  $89 "insignian" brand at Best Buy was on SALE this week $50!  might try your local store - or...  I see them on Amazon... 9 pair in stock.
haven't hooked them up in camper yet - have to figure all that out - but they worked great when I tried them here at home.

I have a 2017 179. You have one. When the booster is on the light will be green.

Nobody mentioned this but did you "rotate" the antenna?  There is a knob with a button on the side on the ceiling near the door.  Pushing the button unlocks the mechanism so you can rotate the knob. You can rotate the antenna almost a full 360 degrees.  When I get to the campsite I point the antenna straight ahead (there is an arrow on the knob hard to see as it is an indentation not painted) do a channel scan and see what I get.  If I cannot get cbs, nbc and abc I move the antenna 90 degrees and repeat scan.  Usually this works to find some stations.

By now I assume you have figured out what the antenna booster button is all about. The booster works off of 12 volts and it amplifies the antenna signal. When you want to scan and set air channels just make sure your coaxial cable is connected to TV and the button is illuminated red. If you go to a fancy camp ground that offers cable TV or you attach a satellite dish to your camper, then you would connect to the satellite/Cable coax connection and turn off the red push button.
