Hello LannyV. I installed my 2M amtenna on the rear ladder and ran the coax in through a window.
Also it is illegal to have a marine VHF radio mounted in a land vehicle. According to the FCC marine rules it is even illegal to operate a marine VHF radio mounted in a boat and the boat is on a trailer on land. There are special circumstances and permits required for ship to shore communications
I also have a Tarheel screwdriver antenna mounted to the rear ladder for my IC7000 HF radio and I can operate 40M through 2M most of the time.
I also have my radio's powered directly from the battery and not from 120VAC.

I want to install a 2m and a marine radio in my camper but I am concerned on mounting the antenna and putting holes in the camper to route the cables inside. I am also concerned about drilling into wiring, plumbing and etc while mounting the radios. If all goes well and I have room I would also like to install my HF rig. Any suggestion?
Thanks
