    My Facebook was full of snow pictures this morning. MAY. Middle of MAY. Really? So glad I'm south right now haha


    realized my antenna problem. My truck is plastic. Haha buying glue in the morning. Best location to stick it to? Drivers side? Passenger? Right on the freaking top of my cab? LOL. Don't want to stick it and still get bad signal.
    Thanks for the help guys. :)

    Put my magnetic sat antenna behind the cab on the metal mounting bracket at the top of the sleeper. Ran the cord up the inside over the cabinets then out the window and around the fairing mount. Then taped the cord to the back of the sleeper. Been there a year, its never moved and is out of the way. Even after being washed a fews times. Always have signal.

    If you have a Cascadia it can really be a pain. I have two antenna's actually. I hook one to each side of my cab. Now I just need to find a splitter where I can route both into the receiver. Before I had two, I'd always lose the signal when I was going a certain direction. The satellite is in the southwest sky, so if your antenna isn't facing that way, it won't come in.

    Try velcro. I know of one other driver doing this with success. Super glue could damage the paint.

    6 hrs of yard work today. I can hardly move. I get more rest on the road! 4 more days of home time.

    Looks like I'll have to mess around with it to make sure it's in a good spot. It's so touchy.
    Thanks for the ideas. I'll have a layover this weekend, so hopefully I can get it dialed in then. :)
