Hmmm...
The problem with a plastic roof is you have no ground plane.
I was thinking of making a dipole setup with the ground wire on one whip (left mirror) and the signal wire on the other whip (right mirror) on the other. You'd have to put the balun in the middle somewhere, under the front "hood" or something and include the run wire in the 102" total length of the antenna wire...
You could also get/build a 1/4 wave base station antenna for the top of the coach. It'd stick up an additional 8 ft on the roof, but what the hell, you don't drive a GMC into parking garages anyway.
