Well, I guess it depends on where you're taking your motor home. A 3' antenna on top of a 6' high mount is nine feet, which would be fine on most every road, but if you're driving on private land under low tree branches, you may wish to consider adding the Firestik heavy duty spring mounts. Get the heavy duty, not the medium duty ones, as I found the medium duty springs too weak.

Hi Richard It your mount is 6 ft with a 3' FireStick (9'). You should be OK. I would also go to FireStick support at http://www.firestik.com/. and check with them.

Hi Meredith, I carried it on a Mustang which has a very small roof. It extended about two inches front and back, but that was no problem. Consider this though -- I drove for twelve (12) hours, loaded to the gills, and my eight cylinder and transmission were very hot.

It does not look sturdy enough to drive far or at any speed! But I would be willing to drive with mine up around the campground. Just keep the speed around 10 MPH and if you have it on tight it should be good!

The higher the height that you mount the top strap, the less flexibility you wIll have in extending the straps. The highest I have seen it mounted in our fire stations is about 7' or 7'6". At that height the straps should extend almost to the floor. That way you can still suspend your feet for the exercises.

Mine did, and after hearing it wouldn't go back and stay I decided not to try , but after my first trip with a 3.6" mag mount falling over at 70 I went out and got a 6" mag mount that worked fine till it started folding over at hi way speeds by itself . I just put heat shrink on that part to fix it . J am seeing a higher than normal swr with my analyzer so mag might not be good for 6 and 10 meter.

It all depends on your mounting point not sure if it will be tall enough to reach past the seat may be better off finding something u can hang over the seat

I have a pilot and is to high for the jack but I put a piece of wood under the jack and raise the truck.In reality is not design for trucks you have to be carefull.

I presume you are using while driving? Probably not the best idea if so. Regardless, tell me where you have mounted it, and at what angle are you viewing it?

The top mount rear peep will but on my 45/70 it hit so high I had to get a taller front post.

No I don't think that would be too low at all. The lower it is the better protection you'll have against running over or hitting something close to your vehicle. Also mounting it low will give you an excellent view when backing up to hitch/unhitch a trailer. Finally, a low mounting will have little affect on the view to the sides. As you might expect I like the low mounting.

I have an 09 and I left mine at the stock height. It raised mine about 3/4".

I have 7' ceilings on my front porch and I have mine hanging there. I chose to have the swivel bracket and the spring and can still sit with about 8" to the ground. I would prefer it a bit higher but wont give up the spring to do it. I love this thing and spend a lot of my summer in it. I take it camping and hang it in a tree nearby too. Next accessory for me will be the bracket that goes into my class II receiver.

My 800 # atv with me on it ( 1000# total) goes up with no problem. They are steep so it would be hard to push something up by hand.

The drive will mount up, but i found out that it did not fit in my dell laptop (too tall) so i went with a newmodeus model (at 4x the price) and it was a direct factory replacement (same slant on the bezel as well) so it really depends on your drive height limitation.

Mine is 7 to 8 inches max. If you are concerned about clearance from the ground it has not been close to an issue. Do not consider anything under a 3500.

I currently have a 4' Astatic half-breed. I also use Firestik antennas. The Astatic has less static and better range. You can use a magnet mount but I dont know what vehicle you have or how you want to mount it. The #1 thing is to set the SWR for any antenna. Look it up if you dont know- you will need a meter or a cb shop can do it sheap. If the antenna isnt tuned the transmit circuit can burn out on you cb.

The drive is tall, height may be a problem. You will need a little more than 15mm of vertical space.
