The FT-450 is a bit large and perhaps a bit awkward for mobile operation.
The front panel is a bit busy and the lay out not quite right for "one person" mobile operation to my way of thinking .
However, I do think it would be a good choice for in the camper as a "fixed" station or on a pick nick table as a portable.
The FT-857-D is much better suited to MOBILE op's , if used with the "REMOTE KIT" so that you can get the "HEAD UNIT" into a good position to view it with out taking your eye's off the road for very long if adjustments are needed.
