Should work fine. My coax in my trailer is RG6, I would assume yours is as well.

So they are putting it into the F250 and F350 light duty trucks? I thought I had heard only the medium duty trucks would get the 7.3?

If so- wow! Good on Ford!

I have been running regular 87 in mine since I bought it from a crappy gravity fed farm tank. Towing or not, runs fine. Just finished a trip hauling a 3500 GM on a deck over 900km on 87.

It's safer than standing outside in it. More to the point though- nothing is safe from lightning. Things will be damaged, it's not if- it's how many.

I use directional antennas for everything now unless it's on my tractors or my truck. That said, depending on the gain available from an omni- that may be simplest for you.

No way I'd do it. I stood on my bumper on my jayfeather to reach up a little higher and I couldn't believe how flimsy it was.

Have you asked the RV dealers around you about an axle flip on the 5th wheel? That will give you more height.

You're definitely out of 150/1500 territory in my opinion. 250/2500- definitely. 3500?...

I have used 4x4 once in a sketchy looking trail leading to the campground. Otherwise it's always 4x2.

Yes! Read the CBSA info and if in doubt, call them to clarify. They have been getting particularly difficult lately for some reason so I hear.
