Plug the antenna in and fire it up. Then hold the antenna as far up as the coax will allow. The goal here is to get it above any metal obstacles. If you find it works well up along the inside just use some velcro to temporarily locate it. Then give it a test for some time.
If your rv has a metal roof then this will not work well. The radio signals will pass through a fiberglass roof. In some cases mounting it in the corner of the windshield will work well.
Just don't get hung up on the idea it must be outside on the roof. Remember, the little antenna is already surrounded in fiberglass or plastic so another layer to the outside world won't change things.
