I tried the magnetic antenna as suggested by TruckCamperMag a while back and lost the GPS. Switched back to the factory antenna, at least it seems to work pretty well for GPS even with the camper on. I own a 2012 RAM; the antenna connection is behind the passenger’s side kick panel.
That is what I was afraid of. My Sirius works till I head NE and then it drops in and out. Most of the time other directions work fine. The GPS works with the camper in the truck. I also use a Garmin portable because I can plan trips on Map Source and then download the routes to my Garmin.
Now the only problem is this year we are planning a trip going to Maine and points further north so we well be heading almost NE all the way there. :( I'm lost without my channel 82 Radio Classic (I like my old time radio shows) and that is what my radio is turned to unless they start repeating and then it is to the 60s and 70s music.
