Default Where to put the Ham Station

I have only had my Class A Motor Home (a '97 HR Vacationer 32 ft) for a bit over a month, however I go in it about every day in an effort to learn how to ring all the bells and toot all the whistles in a proper manner. So far so good, as everything seems to do what it is supposed to do!

I am also trying to decide where to install the ham station when the time comes! At this point I am considering the dash and also the wall behind the co-pilots seat. I have a choice of 2 transceivers, a Kenwood TS-50 or an ICOM-706 MkIIG. The '706 is in the lead because I can remote the control head, and it is pretty much all bands/all modes! So it would leave more room for a laptop as I enjoy some of the digital modes.

I would appreciate hearing about how you guys did it and why you did it the way you did. I have found hams to be a V E R Y resourceful bunch and I am usually impressed by their ingenuity!

Thanks,
Al
