    Have you measured from the ground up to the mounting bracket and subtracted that distance from 13 foot 6 inches?
    It's kind of hard to recommend an antenna without knowing what that measurement is

    Not yet. We haven't gotten them in yet. I think they are set to arrive at the beginning of May. I may just stop by a dealership and measure one if i can find one near me. I thought about asking a driver with a 579 but that may come off as odd.

    These are the optional Pete dual antennas. Unfortunately. Means a shorter antenna pair, AND it really isn’t “outside” the trailer sidewalls.

    PRO-COMM 4.5’ QW45 Quad-Wrap antennas might be an answer. Needs HD stud, so . . . .

    They’ll be the first thing I try (as already have a pair) if I ever transition into one so equipped.

    Might be able to run serious coax with those mounts. Ultraflex LMR-400 anyone? Ha!

    Those are different. Mine are actually on the roof, and have since had to swap them out for shorter ones due to having broke the right one.
