Hi friends, I am also a radioamateur and I intend to install an Icom IC-7100 on my Winnebago Ultimate Advantage.
I put below an image with the technical characteristics so that you can get an idea of the excellent frequency coverage.
There is one problem, however, that puts me in difficulty and it is the assembly of the antenna.
As you can see the Icom IC-7100 allows you to transmit and receive on different bands and is very versatile, however, for reasons of height, obviously you cannot put a fixed vertical antenna on the roof of the RV.
It would take an electric automatic antenna that, with the appropriate controls, can rise vertically and change its length.
A few years ago I had seen one on a US website that worked like this and cost around $ 500. I looked for it again but I couldn't find the website anymore.
Have any of you already done such an installation?
Do you know a similar products?
Could you give me some advice?
