I removed the outside antenna and now I just have an antenna wire laying behind the radio which seams to be working better than when connected to the outside antenna.

The main problem with a lot of these antennas is the lack of a ground plane. Most automotive antennas are intended to be mounted to a metal surface which is the "ground plane" of the antenna, but most RV antennas are screwed into non-conductive fiberglas, so they don't work well. There is a thread somewhere about using a splitter to tie your radio into your TV antenna, which is supposed to improve reception.
