Do not waste your time, effort, or money on dual antennas for CB. A base loaded antenna in the aluminum part of the roof will work best if you have enough overhead road clearance. Second best would be a bumper mounted 108-109" whip.

As previously stated here, the steel body of the coach is 1/2 of the antenna system. The base of the antenna needs to be grounded. Unfortunately the mirrors of our coach are mounted in plastic/ fiberglass and not grounded.
