Solving Those "No Ground" Problems | 
|
Almost all installers of antennas have been confronted with the problems of getting a good ground on fiberglass and aluminum motor homes, RV's, 5th wheelers, and even boats. Getting a ground of any kind, much less a good one, is often just about impossible.
Wilson has the answer.
The idea with this antenna is to avoid the vehicle ground completely and create a new and different ground. This is accomplished by using a separate wire insulated from the vehicle ground, effectively making a dipole for the antenna system.
The complete kit, including all parts necessary to convert your antenna system over to this method , with a 20,000 volt ( 5,000 volt working ) test cable, is available from Wilson Antenna.
Shown below is how to install the "Floating-Ground-Kit" (part # 880-909095) on the Trucker Series, FGT Series of fiberglass antennas (It will work with all models of both types of antennas), and for a boat application with the W-1000 or W-5000.
NOTE: As shown below, the "non-lug" end of the wire must not be grounded or attached to metal. However, it should be secured to prevent movement but "floating" without an actual connection.
The floating ground kit can also be used on fiberglass boats. Shown below is an example of the "FGK" in use with the Wilson 1000.
