Have been looking at a CB for my truck and camper for a couple of years, Never bought one as it wasn't a priority. The other day a neighbor came over with a couple 2 way radios and two marine radios to give to my kids. I mentioned that if he had a CB that I would take it (it is spring cleaning time). Well he had 6 CB's and various antenna. I picked a nice Realistic 40 channel and a couple antenna and yesterday he tossed over the fence a SWR tuner to go with it.
Now the question. Both antenna are magnetic bases, one is a 18" (metal magnetic)and the other is a 36" (magnetic but the base is plastic covered), I chose the 36" yesterday and put it on the cab of the truck - but as I carry a camper I would like to move the antenna to the roof of the camper as right now it leans forward and looks strange. Problem is the camper is fiberglass. Thought that I could glue a metal plate to the roof of the camper to mount the antenna to then run a cable to the truck to ground the plate. Would this work?
I do not want to invest a lot into it, so buying a different antenna isn't going to happen, would like to use what I have.
Thanks for any ideas.
