Jeremy, is your RV skinned with fiberflas or sheet metal? Obviously, you're
going to have more problems with sheet metal. Also, you said you had the
antenna installed. Maybe you need to go behind the installers, and beef up
the grounding system?

Screwdrivers also give you a few more options. You can take the whole
antenna and mount it inside a PVC tube on the roof of the RV, and run it
horizontally. You can also run the motorized coil inside, and use it to
feed a separately-mounted whip (only a short distance away). In either
case, you still need to beef up the ground systems.

Anyone ever setup a screwdriver on a RV and have it work very well ?

I have one installed but it preforms very poorly compared to
how well it worked on my car.

I think it is not working very well because the entire antenna is next to
the side of the motorhome.. and on my car.. only maybe the bottom 2 feet
of it were beside another surface.

I guess another question would be.. does anyone know if it would possibly
work better if it could be mounted at an angle instead of directly
vertical?
