Good question. I'll bet a camper would block the roof-mounted antenna. The campers usually extend way over the cab. You would probably need some type of an extender for the antenna.

First, we've got *two* different antennas to consider here - the GPS antenna for the navigation system and the satellite radio antenna for Sirius. My experience with the Ford Flex is that the Sirius antenna is on the rear center of the roof, about a mile or so from the radio head unit. I've seen Fusions with similar antennas so I'm kind of thinking that the "corporate location" is Roof, Center, Rear. I know that gm puts the antennas in a plastic enclosure above the driver's forehead. On my Jeep the GPS antenna for the factory nav system is under the dash adjacent to the head unit itself and the Sirius antenna is above the driver's head. So these things can be anywhere...
My earlier point is that if they follow the Flex antenna positioning, the overhang on the camper will block reception totally. The brochure I have in front of me has no photos of any sort of antenna on the several trucks pictured. If it's under the roof, then it's under the sheet metal.
