It is not my intention to install 2 radios, only one to monitor
as I drive. I am mostly interested in comments regarding the
antenna (rf ground and electrical ground). Will this be a problem?

I'm thinking of mounting the antenna on the rear ladder rack and
running an electrical ground to the frame. Will this work ok?

I am about to begin the installation of a cb in my 31' motorhome.
I'd like any info regarding antenna, coax length, power options
and anything that I didn't think of.

I'd like to know what problems you encountered and how you overcame
them. I want to know what works and more important what doesn't.

I will follow this thread closely. Thanks.







I would install two CB's in your motor home for maximum performance. Up front
at the drivers seat you'd do best with a Undiden Pc68xl and a Wilson 1000
antenna center mounted above the cab. In the back I'd seriously look into
investing into either a new Ranger 2950dx or a used Uniden HR2510 off of Ebay
that's already converted to the CB and freeband channels. With either of these
radios, a Antron 99 or Imax 2000 antenna, and a very easy "like 5 minutes" to
put up telescoping pole from radio shack with some good rg8x coax and you'll
have a fine portable base station that will talk around the world and compete
with the best of them no matter where you are and you'll really be able to
enjoy it when your stationary. With a dual setup like this you will have no
compromises.
