Or just get a piece of sheet steel and shape it to fasten to the inner edge of the fender, clearing the body line where the hood closes. Forming a metal shelf for your magnetic. I'm not a radio guru but I've worked with a number of CB installs. My thought is anything we do on a Class C is going to be suboptimal. Just get an antenna out into the air and go with it. You'll be able to communicate with nearby traffic and any convoy you're in.

Like Gary, I've got the CB AM/SSB antenna mounted to the left front fender on my C.

Garyhaupt- yes the hood is fiberglass not metal. Have you checked the match with an SWR meter?

GaryHaupt, that's what I was looking at. Thanks,is it a motorhome or just a van? They make a van mount that the bracket is tilted for the slope of the hood. But what kind of T/R would I get with the cabover blocking the rear and so little GP to the front?
IAmichabod, I like your idea too. I actually tried using my mag mount and a pizza pan on the roof and couldn't get a good antenna match. All above 3:1.
