Ground Plane or No Ground Plane! What do you think?

[JesseJamesDallas]

I have a 03, Ford E450 cut-away box van that I work out of, and the only thing metal on it (besides the frame) is the front fenders and doors...the hood and roof are plastic, and the rest is all fiberboard...

I run a Predator 10K mounted with a fender mount on the front left fender and it tuned perfect...I also run a 2x6 Amp in the truck and shoot skip all over the Country when conditions let me. So it can be done...Just have to find ground for the antenna's mount somehow, even if it means running ground straps back to the frame...

may-not be the best set-up, but you can make it work...I've seen allot of RV's that mount the antenna on the front bumper.
