My Chevrolet Express van Class B- camper
I have been camping in my 1990 Chevrolet Silverado Blazer 2-door for the last 20 years. When I removed the back seat there was just enough room for a 3/4 sized (Hollywood, as some people called them)...

Today's addition to the camper van goes along with the TV stand. It is a small 12 volt amplified antenna. I made a mount for it out of wood so that I could mount it on top of the van when we are camping. I discovered on the last camping outing that I get better reception with it on top of the van roof than I do with it just sitting in one of the van windows.
I used a piece of 2x6 cedar for the base and routered a space for two large plastic covered magnets to be recessed into it. The magnets will hold the antenna in position on the roof when camping so the wind does not blow it around.
Here it is mounted on the roof of my van during my last camping trip.
On this trip we picked up about a dozen good high definition channels. Even in remote locations in SD I can usually pick up at least one channel to catch the local news. I mounted the 12 volt amplifier in the back of my kitchen unit inside the camper.
