Fiberglass Motorhome
 

I am about to begin the installation of a cb in my 31' motorhome.
I'd like any info regarding antenna, coax length, power options
and anything that I didn't think of.

I'd like to know what problems you encountered and how you overcame
them. I want to know what works and more important what doesn't.

I will follow this thread closely. Thanks.

I would install two CB's in your motor home for maximum performance. Up front
at the drivers seat you'd do best with a Undiden Pc68xl and a Wilson 1000
antenna center mounted above the cab. In the back I'd seriously look into
investing into either a new Ranger 2950dx or a used Uniden HR2510 off of Ebay
that's already converted to the CB and freeband channels. With either of these
radios, a Antron 99 or Imax 2000 antenna, and a very easy "like 5 minutes" to
put up telescoping pole from radio shack with some good rg8x coax and you'll
have a fine portable base station that will talk around the world and compete
with the best of them no matter where you are and you'll really be able to
enjoy it when your stationary. With a dual setup like this you will have no
compromises.

dont forget a sweet 16 and a leece alternator.

before anyone asks how does one put up an ant99 off a mobile home i saw
a setup using a 6' tripod about 6 meters off the back of the m'home. he
was on the beach and smoked. problem he had was securing it against a
stiff wind.

Down here when were on the beach we don't worry about mounting them very high
for any dx talking but then again that's usually the only reason were ever on
the beach to begin with. Nothing like 4kw's and a ground plane on the salt
water. Tall antenna's are a problem for the local talking city dweller type of
operators. Btw, how have you been Jim? It's great hearing from you! Kp82 in
Galveston is gone...........

radio's down due to the jogunn off the roof. new second
story going up. tower as soon as some bux appear. might be awhile as the

Sounds like a wonderful order for those to fall into.
