I have done some research (casual reading) on the Steppir, so far looks good. I think you are supposed to spread out an array of radials if you mount it on the ground. If you mount it on your roof this would be a challenge (you could attach aluminum sheets or wires to the roof with the antenna more forward on the coach than you indicate. Place the antenna somewhat in the area of the engine to add to the ground plane.
Additionally you could string out wire radials draped over the coach and out into the camping area.


The Tarheel lift and lay mount would I think raise and lower your antenna. It could be mounted on aluminum angle or channel attached to the roof spanning internal roof members. Place the antenna somewhat in the area of the engine to add to the ground plane.

I am very happy with my Tarheel 100. Other more expensive brands that work well are Scorpion and HI-Q.
