As I said before, On many motor homes there is a bracket with a hole on the back on the hitch receiver frame where it attaches to the frame rails

Even if that does not exist you have a nice square very strong steel beam that runs the width of the frame rails on the back of the "Bus" (The hitch receiver mount)

Using bolts and clamps you can mount a second square tube to this (heck, you could mount a 2nd hitch receiver) and mount your antenna on this bracket. Run the coax along the frame rails along with the other wires and bring it up through the FLOOR, sealing the opening with "Great Stuff" Spray in foam sealer (There is a lot of that in your rig already)

It is that simple Remember top of antenna needs to be under 13.6 or low-bridge will get you
