Pic of the truck mount and pic from roof of camper of plate attached to rail.. The added camper plate is located at the front edge of roof rail on drivers side of camper. This puts ant. bout middle of camper roof. Used simple calmp mount to plate, antenna is small magnetic mount that has a small spring. Cable runs down side with zip ties. Plans are for a better camper antenna mounted on a plate mounted to camper roof, drill thru roof and run cable inside to front (my refer vents are on the side of camper, many use this for access). I read post on RV net that sounded good. Mounting a water proof electrical box to roof. Run cable from ant to it and cable from there thru roof inside and to front, With connection inside box if there's a problem (i rip it off) it'll be easy fix without rerunning all the cable.
The antenna mount used on truck I found at Radio shak-added female plug then filled the entire assy with hot glue. Due to all the metal inside the truck cab walls I couldn't mount truck antenna as high as I had hoped. SWRs aren't very good (too much ant to close to cab). I had hoped the sloping away of the cab would help-it didn't.

Pic included of radio-kinda hard to get a pic of. Power, runs up behind head liner to rear interior light.. Antenna lead also runs across headliner then behind corner plastic trim to mount. Trying as much as possible to keep the wires as far apart as practical. As it is to use, I unscrew truck mast, mount camper then attach coax cable from camper to truck mount. pic of ceiling mounted cb cb mounted
