factory sirus radio

i just purchased a camper with extended sleeper over the cab. My 06 came equipped with the Sirius radio and the antenna is located on the top just a few inches forward of the cab mounted brake light
problem is that when the camper is on there is no signal. I made an appointment at Best Buy to have another antenna installed, leaving the original in place so that when i trade the truck i can just plug the original antenna back in .
unfortunately, when i got to Best Buy and they realized it was a factory install they said there was no way for then to do it. Suggesting i would need to go to Dodge to get an antenna with a plug that would fit there factory plugs. i called dodge and they said ??????????? , take it to any Sirius installer and they can do.
Anyone addressed this issue yet ?
