Single Trucker should be mounted top center but on an RV.. NOT going to work there. (Too high) I would go with Twins.. ANd mount them on the side of the RV.. (Assuming not metal sided)
Mount antenna using half a mirror mount or angle bracket (L shape)
Mount one on either side,, Set them to the tip of the antenna is either
13.6 Feet above ground =OR= 1" above highest point on motor home roof (If approaching a low bridge.. Approach slowly,, CREEP, if antenna hits.BACK OF AND Take another route!)
I think the Twins will work best for you.

I'm looking at a single. This would allow me to pull in the cell signal and use within coach for cell phone and wifi internet. I'm going to be mounting an amp and an internal antenna inside. This will give me the best of both worlds.
The antenna is, I believe - don't quote me, 22 inches. So, two thoughts, since I don't have the coach if the OTA is crank-up then it would go there. If not, then possible mounting on the side of coach around the drivers side window. Or even on the top front cap, possibly at a slight angle.
If I had the coach it would be a lot easier to determine where to mount. I have no problems drilling as long as I can see the inside as well as the outside. I've drill many holes on my other coaches with success.
