Ok, here are pictures of the 3 antenna moint points I have used on my westy.  I
would ask that you please take it easy on my DSL connection, unless you are
really interested, at least for the first few hours.  Thanks.

The last is my 15W solar panels.  I do not recommend this mounting posiition,
you'd be better off with them farther back to lessen the weight of raising and
lowering the poptop.  Hindsight is a wonderful, yet useless thing.
