Thanks for the tip. I plan on keeping my van for a long time. I drillled
holes and have scraped it with trees and put it in ditches and whatever it
takes to make my life easier in the van. I have intentions of drilling more
holes too to mount more stuff. Ham radio still doesnt have a good mounting
location. Nor does the antenna.
