CB Antenna Type & Location?

[TJJEEPER]

Nice, well thought out install!
As for the SWR, when you're going down the road the SWR will vary as the wind pressure varies the location of the antenna in relationship to the camper. 1. 4:1 shouldn't kill the radio, the 1. 2:1 is pretty darn good!

Thank you! My daughter & I are having fun, too

Some M5 bolts take 3mm hex driver (ACE Hardware), other's take 4mm hex driver (Home Depot), etc. Lesson learnt!

What brand/model is that little 120v inverter that you have mounted to the right of your radio? I carry one that can be plugged into the cigarette lighter, but I'd love to mount one in each of the trucks somewhere.
