In the old days people used to mount a second antenna on the roof of the RV and run the wire down and attach it to the original antenna with an alligator clip. Seemed to work then. Personally I would mount a new ground plane antenna up near the roof and figure out how to get the wire down to the back of the radio. Usually can be done after a fashion.
