Gordo -

3. Velcro. For holding the flaps up, TM changed from Velcro strips to screw-on black velcro circles (dots) some time ago. They hold better than the glue-backed strips. For holding the flaps closed, you could replace the old Velcro strips with new strips or dots. Both are available from any decent hardware store. Just look for some called "extra strength" or "industrial' or some other semi-meaningless term. Use the forum Search tool on the word Velcro to find several detailed discussions, such as the one linked by KidKraz.

4. Antenna. You can remove it, of course. You will need to seal the exterior roof opening, and the screw holes, with a metal disc and some sealant or caulk to prevent leakage. You will also need to deal with the appearance of the now-vacant hole in the interior ceiling, which won't be pretty. The bigger disadvantage comes when you go to sell the trailer, and the prospective buyer wants the antenna. Again, a forum Search will uncover better answers here.
