I have moved my base unit from under the drivers seat to a location above the rear wheel well. I am doing this as I will have a 17 gallon water storage tank about 6" away from the under seat position and if a major leak occurs, it would fry my dual band. It will be on the outside of the interior plastic finish panel.
Here is the plastic panel sitting close to position:
And here is the location of the unit:
And a closer look:
The question is: Is this unconditioned space, not cooled by cabin AC, going to get so hot that the unit will suffer? I live in the desert so that side of the rig will be in direct sunlight, very hot direct sunlight.
Has anyone mounted theirs in a similiar position in your rig? Any problems.
It is fully installed right now, but that side will be open for some time as I install a 12v water pump in the same area. I have seen some installed on the headliner but that is such an uncomfortable thing to work with, I just don't want to touch it.
Thanks for any input.
