Default Not sure yet

The plan is to be able to operate from the LR area (next to TV there's a perfect space to "hide" the rig where DVD used to be) or outside under the awning. (see Forest River Cedar Creek 36CKTS floorplan). No plans to work from the truck per se. I have an Astron 20A that I'll hide in a LR cubbie permanently and will buy another PS for outdoors use. Easier than lugging a PS back and forth. I was a bit concerned about long runs of DC and IR drop under loads.
Antenna will be permanently mounted on truck behind and just below top of cab a bit to the drivers side (stop light and cab window). RV will be wired for easy attachment to antenna stub via the Hitch unbilical and will have additional length of coax for awning ops. Anyway, that's the plan. Right now I have to sell a very nice band saw (Hello Craig's List) and then will make the plunge. I've been inactive for over a decade I guess so this should be interesting. Operate just SSB and CW (CW?). Have no interest in digital modes...used to do that and ended up usually using keyboard CW..LOL. Hope it all works as planned...ahhh...do you hear retirement? Thanks for insights!
