CB: Should there be wiring?

[Dave F]

My book and Winnebago say that my Sightseer is pre-wired for a CB and the antenna is optional. I had 2 dealers tell me that they only but the wire in if there is an antenna, I have looked and so far I have not found the wiring. The questions are 1: Should there be wiring? 2: Where would the wire end for the antenna? I do not see any stickers for it on the roof; there was one for the sat. dish.

On our Adventurer. There was a CB ANT. already mounted. There was a plactic bag under left side of dash with wires for CB.

I Found my cb wires today on my adventurer, they were in a plastic bag behind the fuse panel
on the drivers side near the floor.

The CB antenna was already installed on my '05 adventurer 38r. The wiring was behind the fuse panel under the left side of the dashboard. I had to remove the trim panel in order to find them. They were pretty well buried back in there. They're was a white, yellow and coax with a PL-259 connector in a plastic bag.

Is the antenna a flexible rubber type? I have 2 on my Sunova. Also have outside entertainment option , Manual says wired for CB but don't see a CB type antenna.....

I got all the plans from Winnebago for my RV (even has my Vin# on them) and it does not show any CB wire. It sounds like your RV is setup just like mine. My manual says wired for CB, I think the manual covers many rigs.

Dave, Are you saying that there isnt a cb antenna folded down, laying on the roof, probably in the left front corner of the roof? There is probably a black rubber looking antenna in the center of the roof right behind where the front end cap meets the roof. That is your radio antenna. Then to the left of that, is your cb antenna. They usually fold them down for delivery. If you do have it there, the cb coax wire comes down inside the "A" pillar on the drivers side and then under the dash. Like has been said, it will be stuffed up under the dash probably and you need to kinda hunt around for it.

It took a while to find mine, I found the antenna first and then had to hunt the wires, the plastic bag they talk about being wrapped around the end of the wires was not even visable until I started pulling on the right wires. If you've got an antenna you'll have the wiring.

Dave I have 2001 adventurer and there is a metal antenna on the drivers side of roof and as the others state there is wiring inside the front panel.

[Dave F]

All I have for antennas is the 2 rubber ones, 1 for the chassis radio the other 1 for the outside entertainment center.
No there is no CB antenna that is why I asked "2: Where would the wire end for the antenna? I do not see any stickers for it on the roof; there was one for the sat. dish."�

Dave, I went back and read your post alittle closer this time. The antenna is usually located about 3" back from where the front end cap meets the roof and about 5"'s in from the left side of the coach. So the cable runs down kinda above the ceiling cabinet in front of the driver and down along that "A" pillar that is between the front windshield and the drivers side window. It ends up under the dash tied together and usually has a plastic bag around the end of it. Now, quite frankly, the running of the cable isnt that big of deal. The "A" pillar comes of with about 6 screws and it is easy to run a cable down thru there. The problem I would see is where exactly to place the antenna if there isnt a label on the roof. I think you might want to get the dealer involved and get their suggestions.

... as an added comment about the CB wiring ... my 1999 34Y has a smaller coax connector than the regular size on the back of most CBs. I had to go to Radio Shack and buy a female to male adaptor to make it connect. When trying to connect it, the adaptor I purchased had finer threads than the connector which Winnebago provided. If anyone knows the correct part number for this adaptation, I'd appreciate it and its source. On another note, it must be a dual frequency antennae because the weather channels work.

I agree with the posts so far...I have a 2005 Sightseer that is suppposedly pre-wired for the CB. On the roof, I have the two rubber antennas but nothing above the Driver. How is the antenna mounted to the roof. I am a little nervous about this even if the dealer does the work.
