Re: [A/S] Ham Radio Antenna

Don,

The basic layout of your coach has the vast majority of the wiring, 110V, 
12V, coax et al. being run in the center of the ceiling with drops from that 
point down and out to the needed connection. The 110V service comes into the 
coach at the roadside rear and immediately goes up to the roadside bedroom 
overhead cabinet. From there nearly all the wiring goes up into the ceiling. 
The 12V service originates in the front under the couch goes off to (I 
believe) the roadside and up to the ceiling. The wire run galley is defined 
by the center ceiling skin that runs down the center of the coach.
Looking up you can see the joint trim. While access can be described easily 
it is a project to do it. Access is by removing light/vent fixtures, TV 
antenna, and the couple of rivets that hold the center skin at the endliner. 
For coaches that have the floating endliner (no visible rivet heads at the 
joint) it may be necessary to use a putty knife to cut the couple of hidden 
rivets The amount and type of loading caused by a 2 meter or CB whip antenna 
is well beyond the skins ability to bear. Recommend you anchor on a bracket 
mounted on the rear bumper.
