Default Do You Have A WX Station In The RV?

Getting ready for full timing we made a mistake and sold our WX station.
We had the Davis unit that was cabled for about 6 years and it never had a problem.
We decided it was something we just had to have so this time we upgraded and got the 6152 Pro 2 wireless version so I won't have wires hanging down on the RV. My wife really wanted wind and rainfall information rather than going with a basic station.
I am thinking that the anemometer and such may not be able to take the combined speeds of the wind and RV so I will take it down when we travel.
I think I may just use uni-strut to mount this using some PVC pipe. All I have to do it make sure it point North if I care about the wind direction.
Based on my past experience, and that of others that I know have had this system I can highly recomend it. I know many that had LaCrosse and Oregon Scientific and had problems particularly with the rain or wind sensors.
It's not cheap, but sometimes you really do get what you pay for.
I got a pretty good deal on this one via eBay on a "Best Offer" deal.
Oh well, another antenna as such. I think this makes 9 now.
