I run a Wilson 1000 mag & have to do the same thing at times, and I haven't had a problem with it. I have done it both ways, unscrewing the coil & the removing the entire thing to wash the truck & all. It shouldn't change the SWRs as long as you put it in the same position as was when SWRs checked good. Moving it to a different location could change it.

I would agree too, but wouldn't that get repetitious?

I will say...keep it clean, and waxed a bit too.

Oh, and welcome to the CB Radio Talk Forum...

Well, you have now found the place to learn whatever you want, chat, find friends, etc. I have found this a good place to be. And I have learned a lot since I've been here.

FIRST OFF LET ME SAY WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!! I RUN A WILSON 1000 ON MY 05 DAKOTA AND I MOVE MINE TO RUN THROUGH THE CAR WASH ALSO GOING INTO A GARAGE AND I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH MY SWR'S. JUST LIFT THE MAG MOUNT AND LAY IT IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK AND THEN WHEN I AM DONE PUT IT BACK ON TOP. YOU SHOULD BE FINE!!!
