It'll probably be just fine, though in theory, it's better to have it
all higher than the roof. It works fine somewhat below the roof line on
my MH.

Get an SWR meter and check the SWR with the antenna in the position you
want it. Doesn't have to be mounted, but just have it stuck in a piece
of wood or something you can easily put there temporarily.

If the SWR is less than 2, great. Less than 3, OK. More than 3, try
another position.
