Hello,
I want to put an antenna on a -fiberglass- motorhome (class a) and I'm
not sure about the no gound plane vs the regular mobile antenna choices. I
have a ladder
rack on the back, and a luggage rack on top, but I'm not sure of how much
ground I can get from that.

I have a 102" whip laying around and I thought about mounting that to the
back bumber with a homemade plastic 'standoff' at the top of the motorhome
to keep it from swinging.

Good idea, or no? (tree pruner is not what i want) but from the bumper I
can use most of that 9' before it clears the roof on a fiberglass body.

Strange combo.


OK so the whip might be the ticket for now, next up is making a plastic or
rubber standoff
to keep it from swinging around so much. I figure I'll hook that to the
luggage rack which
is right at the roof line and let it -whip- above that somewhat.

Any suggestions on what to use for the standoff, all things considered?
