Hello Gary, I like the picture of your antenna. I have been contemplating which antenna to buy and if I should buy a NGP antenna. Is your antenna a NGP type and are you happy with reception? Second question, what is the Pressure Pro External Antenna that I see mounted under your MH.

CB Ch 13 notwithstanding, what we need to do is develop a set of standard hand signals that all of us living the RV lifestyle would recognize as indicating a problem. I don't think it would be that hard. We probably have dozens we have already use without thinking when we noticed something wrong with someone else's rig. Have you ever pointed up to someboady's TV antenna as he was leaving a park? I Have. These hand signals should be easy to offer, one hand type that a driver could throw out a window and be unique enough to get the point across. Even just a few to indicate a tire, roof, awning, problem etc. would be great. I betcha it wouldn't take long to get a great set of signals from this bunch of dedicated RV'ers. We could offer them here as a starter and then maybe one day we could get a small handout printed as part of every rv operators manual. Am I wishing for too much? whaddaya say?

Here in California, and I am sure it is true elsewhere, we have a hand signal that is used often in traffic. It is easily done, and is understood everywhere. In fact, it is often returned, showing that what we are trying to say is clear. A simple gesture, but one that gets the point across with little effort. I heartily recommend its' use.

Now this sir, is an excelent idea. Sort of what is used on a job site when you are unloading, correct? Most of the signals are one handed. Up, down, left, right, stop, all one handed.

Only way I could have done a cb on my rv was to drill a hole in the side of the body to install an antenna. Decided to pass and sold the cb.

You have alternative antenna available. Through-the-glass antenna, and a combiner that uses your coach radio antenna for CB also. Neither reproduce the quality of hard-wired antenna, but all you need is to receive and transmit a mile or so while driving.
