Has anyone tried mounting an Antenna on a rear mounted ladder on a Motorhome?
I can't use a door mount as there is too much of an "overhang" from the MH body over the doors
The body is made of fibre glass so a mag mount is out
I had thought of getting a sheet o of galvanised steel sheet and fixinf it with Sikaflex on the roof.
Where to put the Antenna 2

if there is a ladder is there rails on top if so a mirror mount will do fine wit a short antenna if not then a 360 degree mirror mount on the ladder at the top will work ok
if it anit broke dont fix it
Hi Baloothebear,
Had exactly the same problem, tried various set-ups, ended up settling on this....

I rather thought that is what I might have to do. I had to Sikaflex a piece of sheet galvanised onto the roof my old Talbot

It works well.
I've replaced the antenna with a 'Trucker' stainless steel twig, and used a splitter so that it acts as an antenna for the radio when parked up (far better than the windscreen aeriel that came with the van)
It also serves a third purpose as a 'twanger' (technical term!) If I hear the antenna catch on low branches, I can slow right up before it gets near the sat dish...
Only wish there was more campers using CB's. Other than when travelling with friends, I've rarely seen it used....
