My Chevy pickup factory antenna for my serious radio and nav is blocked by my cab over camper. How can I permanently mount another antenna on my camper or truck to solve solve this. The camper is loaded and unloaded frequently with standard power plug/ connectors.
Wilson electronics makes a cb looking GPS antenna you can mount the antenna to camper disconnect the coax with the camper and run an extension coax to the bed of truck for the dis connections.... then plug into your SIRIUS Radio to that extension coax..

Thoroughly check your antenna connection, be certain the plastic grommet is in place (and not cracked) between the bottom of the antenna adaptor stud and your antenna mount, and check for corrosion in and around your antenna connections. If using a fiberglass antenna, check for cracked outer insulation. If a whip, be sure the Allen screws are tight and the antenna is getting a good connection. If you have a base-loaded whip antenna (Wilson 2000) make sure the base coil plastic case isn't cracked. If you find anything wrong, invest in a new antenna. If all that checks out, buy a new 18 foot piece of coax (around $20, or get the best quality you can afford) and run it to the antenna. You may have skinned the coaxial shielded outer insulation somewhere in the uninstall/install process, it only takes one tiny break to cause problems. Be sure not to run the coax through the door jamb or a window where it WILL be pinched and cause trouble, take time to run it under the dash and out a permanent vent access or through the firewall.
