Good point. In one of my previous lives, I spent a good chunk of time as a two-way radio tech and became well acquainted with the need for a decent ground plane for transmitting antennas. Of course...

Where's the fun in that? I relish tilting at windmills.

The thought did pass through my mind, but the existing antenna is so corroded and crusty that it's getting replaced regardless. Since that's...

Thanks John, but don't bother. I'm fairly optimistic I can do a pull via the OEM route, and if not, it won't be that tough to extrapolate what I need when I have the new mount in hand.

Either way,...

Appreciate the followup, John. If I wind up needing to go with a side mount, I was assuming I'd need to add some beef inside the cabinet, knowing those walls are pretty insubstantial. Fortunately, a...

Same for the car stereo I installed. Realistically, even a single point-source LED is a bit bright in pitch darkness.

On the "bright" side, my wife is nuts about nightlights, so that's taken care...

I actually carry a jug of that in my work van. Haven't needed to use it in the last 4-5 years, but you never know...

John, you really do go above and beyond! Thank you so much.

My radio is in the same location as yours, but the antenna is mounted just over the doorway rather than above that side cabinet. Looks...

Thanks John, I was hoping you'd chime in. A temporary cable is a good thought, but complicated by the fact that I'd have to haul the camper somewhere out in the boonies to try it. Here at home, I'm...

It's a rooftop mount, a couple of feet aft and a couple of feet to the side of where the radio is mounted in an overhead cabinet at the front of the camper. Just far enough away that they may well...

Should I replace my radio antenna?

1999 T-1950. Pretty sure the antenna is OEM, a springed whip 2' or so long.

Previous owner removed the radio that came with the camper; I've installed a current-model car stereo where it was....
