I recently purchased a wireless weather station. I have a Jayco 31BHS. I want to mount the wind sensor and rain sensor on top somewhere, if possible. Does anyone have suggestions as to how and where? Many thanks in advance.

don't you have to have access to the rain sensor to dump it or is it automatic?

We have a weather station at home & we're active in a local storm water program, so the accuracy of our weather station is subject to serious analysis. It uploads weather to the 'net every 15 minutes here.
The wind sensor needs to be mounted as high as possible and above any obstructions. In our case that means on a 30' mast attached to the railing of our deck.
Obviously, that's a tad difficult on an RV. IMO, the best alternative is to put on in the bat wing of the TV antenna so that it can be lifted at least some above the roof. If you mount it on the roof as is usually done with automatic awning sensors, it will be seriously affected by the laminar boundary layer on the roof as well as the AC unit, vents, etc.
The rain gauge is less affected by surrounding hardware so it's placement isn't as critical.
