cannot find the cb cable in my 2007 Fleetwood Revolution LE. Unit has cb antenna mounted on roof and is supposed to be cb ready.

On our DSDP it was coiled up and tied way up under the dash. Luckily I did find it by lifting the dash panel where some of my fuses are located. Still haven't found the dedicated wires for it though. They are supposed to go directly to the battery to eliminate electrical noise but I don't know. Since I very rarely use the CB it's not a big thing.

Frank, I have a Winnebago and mine was wrapped up under the dashboard. Good Luck on your search! Rooster

If you bought new, you might contact your dealer of purchase. If you bought used, and STILL cannot find it, contact any Winnebago dealer that handles your model. Go in person and have your info (model, serial #, etc.) in hand. Someone can probably look it up.

CB ready does not always mean there is a cb antenna. Sometimes it only means they have power set up under the dash. I found this in a Winnebago. Sometimes the rubber ducky antennas on the roof are for the dash radio and there might be another if you have an outside entertainment center. If you actually have a cb antenna you might find that taking the dash guages out will give you access. All depends on the MH of course. I can take my dash panel loose in about two minutes with an electric drill. I found my cb cable rolled and nylon tied.

June, lift the dash cover, to the right of the back up monitor, held in place by one torx screw. It will be toward the front right above your subwoofer. You could also reach in from under the dash, in the centre behind the speaker grill. It is there.

Thanks to Jack of Alberta Canada, I located the cb antenna cable. I should have also asked if there is an electrical pigtail already wired for cb radio. Is there one?
Thanks for your help.

Nope. I didn't find any pigtail or wire connection for the c.b. However I wired it into the power source to the dash radio. The dash radio is switched so that power to the c.b. and the dash radio can be on with the ignition off. Good luck.
