New antenna creates wind drag, kills MPG

[Radio]

I have a new antenna mounted in the bed of my truck and the install has created some problems.

1. Wind drag, and sensitive to crosswinds
2. Poor cornering
3. Terrible MPG
4. Have to leave it home to use 5th wheel.

Any ideas??

Actually, it looks pretty good as long as it is pointed to the side. Just don't point is forward.:D

I think your trying for that new TV show where they chase tornados. Looks like a small version of the DOW (doppler on wheels) they use.

Or a portable bird bath.

I think if you move the truck the antenna will stay. so,ooooo make my day!

Actually, if you move the truck around the parking lot the dish remains pointed at the satellite.

Neat, huh?

I know that my Dodge pickup could handle that antenna. But I would have to get a fold down assembly to put it on the roof of the MH!! :think::D
