As a firefighter also remember that the lower you store your firesafe container the more likely it will survive. In a basement compartment is likely to be more fire safe, temperatures lower, than inside the coach. Fire burns up and it pulls in cool air at the bottom, also unless your in the real boonies, I would expect that the local fire company could respond in a reasonable time.

I'm not an expert in this area, but when I looked at the add on it appears to be all plastic. If that is the case then there would be no difference in reception. Also, there is no direct mechanical connection to the "bat wing". Most antenna's reception is based on their design and the transmitting or receiving element being made out of metal. Even if you buy a fiberglass antenna, such as for a boat there is wire imbeded in the fiberglas and the cable connector mates with a metal connector. So for those who seem to get better reception, great. But I truely question if they add anything.
