Where is a good place to mount a cb antenna on a 2015 Seneca? What kind of antenna did you mount? While I'm at it, where did you hook the hot wire for the cb? Thanks!

I have a 2014 Seneca. Checked with a truck stop CB shop and they suggested single antenna on Drivers side. Attached to mirror bracket with standard type antenna mount. I haven't figured out best way to run coax and whether to mount overhead or under dash. I an interested how others have done it.

There is a discussion on the JaycoOwners forum about whether or not the mirror-mounted antenna that comes on the 2015 Seneca can be used for a CB in addition to the radio. It is rumored that there is a coax pigtail behind the dash somewhere.

A guy who works at a Freightliner plant has offered to check into it. If he reports back, I'll pass it along.

I am curious to know if anyone has installed the CB as well.
And how they did it.

Rekindling an old thread here. There is a CB antenna lead behind the A/C controls on the Seneca dash. I removed that panel and found it in the lower left corner. The connector is a mini-UHF plug, though, which will require an adapter (mini-UHF male to PL259 female) to connect to most CB's.

Now I just need to find a source of power in that general vicinity...

If your fuse panel is close by, you can buy a fuse adapter that adds an extra 12v line

they also sell these at your local autoparts store

Under the dash on the drivers side right of the throttle is the trailer brake wiring for a brake control 5 wires all heavy gauge the 2 blue ones are for brake controller output to the rear one is brake signal from the brake pedal and the other 2 are 12v hot and ground.

Thanks for the tip! I found the wire bundle you're talking about, I think. They're all capped off at the end and just stuffed up behind the cupholder.

Do you know which of the non-blue wires is which? There was a solid red, red/white stripe and one other that I can't recall offhand.

I can put a meter to them to find the 12v, but didn't want to remove the caps unnecessarily if you know which is which.

Thanks again!

I just did all of this is my 2014 and posted pictures on the Jayco Owners forums. Made a faceplate to mount the CB in the overhead bin, powered from the battery, am using the factory antenna splitter as described. Works well...for a CB.

I installed a new CB antenna on the right side mirror. I could not set the swr. I called a CB shop, they told me I needed a no ground plane antenna for a rv. The same kind used on boats, and motorcycles. I wonder if the antenna supplied with the Seneca is a no ground antenna. Has anyone had a problem setting the swr on the radio/CB antenna?
