In-dash Navigation / Radio Options in a Class C
We just purchased a 2007 Winnebago Outlook 31C, with the Chevy 6.0L chassis. The rig has pretty much all the options we are looking for. However, I would like to upgrade the in-dash radio. I'm considering a Doube DIN sized unit than with GPS. Although I've installed radios and other electronic accessories in passenger vehicles, I'm not exactly ready to dive into this project head first. My main question is placement of antennas for the GPS and satellite radio. Obviously, these would ideally go onto the roof. However, I don't envy the prospect of running cables up there, or drilling one or more holes in the fiberglass roof. How well will these components work if the antenna were mounted at the corner of the windshield and dashboard? What about mounting the antennas on the front fenders or hood? If a roof insulation for the antannae is clearly the best option, does anybody have any tips of how to mount them and run the cables?
