[Mobile-Portable] HF/VHF/UHF Mobile in a Toyota RAV4?

[Gary Pearce KN4AQ]

Any tips on mobile in a Toyota RAV4 (2007, V6, 4WD model)?

I've got a lot to stuff in:  706MKIIG, Yaesu 8900, Icom ID800, Alinco 220 
MHz, maybe a scanner and even a CB rig.

I'm contemplating a RAM system for mounting control heads, etc., and 
putting the radios under the back seats.  I think there's still room when 
they're in the lower folded-down position, but I'll double-check.  Tarheel 
screwdriver for HF (those three bolt holes on the frame at left-rear look 
good for a mount), and a slew of short dual-band and mono-band antennas on 
the roof that'll clear the garage door.  I need to figure out where to put 
a six-meter antenna, or two (706 and 8900 both do 6).

And sorry, Rick N1RL - I went with the RAV instead of the Subaru Forrester!
