OTOH, they often have a low awning over the drive

Yeah, I've seen it that way, too.

Years ago, I manged to run the right front corner of my pickup camper into
an overhanging tree branch. No, not at 2AM with a snootful. It was
noontime and I was pulling out a parking space in front of the post office.
That tree would have been an antenna-killer.

Default Maximum Antenna Height on a Vehicle

My bugcatcher is way taller than the interstate limit.

I tie it off at the top, and have a knotted string that I can pull and
hook onto the coat hook inside the car. I let go of it when I stop, and
pull down to drive. Oddly enough it seems to work well enough while
pulled down too.
