1996 Coachmen Leprechaun Ham Radio Install
Hey Everyone,
So now that we have our camper charging itself with its convert properly and the fact that here in Colorado we're gearing up for camping season. Now is the time for me to find a place to install my home base station radio into the camper. Problem is unlike in my truck where I can just stick the thing under my dash and then put the face plate up somewhere, I need the ability to remove this from the camper when we get back home so I can hook it back up inside. Sure I could just order another radio to put in the camper but well I think I've spent my budget on the radio for this year :). Anywho anyone got any experience with putting one of these units in a Coachmen? Like I said I'd like to be able to remove it so I'm going to use the male/female plugs so I can just unplug and unscrew the coax.
Just in case you're wondering why I don't put in a CB well, where we go up into the woods where no one else is around we use our portable radios while we're out riding our ATVs and we like to be able to talk to each other and it would be nice to have a nice powerful radio back at the camp site. Especially in the event of an emergency since our phones don't typically work back in the woods. Also tree's eat up the AM transmits pretty well. 73's to all KE0DQW
