I bought Metra 40-EU10 Antenna Adapter as part of my camper van equipment.
The antenna adapter is part of my radio-related purchases, alongside the broader task of organizing the van's electrical equipment.
Where it fits my build
My Day 87 plan put the body openings ahead of the aluminum framing, flooring and wall panels. I specifically included the shower drain and the openings for three water tanks in that order of work.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware to leave mounting points for the extrusion framing, and removed door trim for the later insulation and paneling. SketchUp helped me plan how those separate jobs would fit together.

My build notes
The useful part of this diary entry is the sequence. I wanted to finish the drilling while the interior metal was bare, so later work would not mean opening finished surfaces again.
The photographs show my preceding floor-preparation session. Sweeping, washing and removing residue created the starting point for the interior work I described next.
I planned the openings and mounting access before enclosing the interior.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The 40-EU55 is another adapter configuration. CHHLIUT's hidden antenna is a complete antenna approach, rather than a cable that retains an existing mast connection.
Metra 40-EU55 Antenna Adapter
The 40-EU55 is an antenna connection adapter for an aftermarket radio installation. Its short cable joins two connector formats without a separate length of bulk cable.
