At 27 MHz, any antenna shorter then 5 feet is a waste of time.

Not true. There are antennas at five feet that will match or even
surpass a 102" SS whip.

Bull****.

This may shock and dismay some people, but I agree with you Frank. A
102" stainless steel (or fiberglass) whip properly mounted will beat
shortened and loaded antennas any day.

Best location would be dead center on the roof, but with a cab-over
camper you can't do that permanently, although you could use a
mag-mount antenna and place it on top of the camper when you have it
onboard.
