weather station & antenna mounting?

flash · 03-17-2015, 08:40 PM

I just bought a living quarters trailer,using a weather station with pager.I know how to install the rubber mounts for the weather station,I use a wall mounted usb port adaphter that has a small screw on cap when not in use.but the antenna has to be mounted either on the roof,or small L bracket they provide.I really don't like the idea of drilling a hole in the roof of this trailer to mount the antenna,but if you mount it on the L shape bracket,which stays there permantly-then you have to drill a hole somewhere to run cable which would look stupid running a black cable down the side of a white trailer.everybody is doing this,so am I missing something or just have not thought it out yet?instuctions say don't mount antenna near the weather station unit as well,-? any suggestions
