Carl, how efficient have you found your rear (and low) mounted antenna to be? I had an auto tuner, ball mount with 8 foot whip clamped to the rear bumper of my Class C and could not make one qso on 75, 40, or 20 during a road trip a couple of years ago. I grounded antenna to the RV chassis at the rear. Also, mounted a Tarheel II on the left front fender with similar lousy performance. Got lots of RFI from engine. I'm sure the plastic hood on my 2006 Chalet E350 didn't help.

I'm still looking for a practical installation for HF "in motion" communication.
