I use screw drive antenna. I made a mount from a RV spare tire bracket welded a tube on it drop the 7' mast in (fits in the camper compartments) it a rase up the antena put the pin in done deal. My camper has an aluminum roof and the mast and antenna get grounded to the camper making a pretty good ground plane. Even does pretty good at night on 80 meters. The mount allows me to put surplus fiberglass poles in the socket and when I'm doing some thing like field day I put up my homemade dipole. It's made from the remains of an old 10 meter beam the elements slide inside one another and I can do 10,12,15,and 17. At 17 it's starting to get a bit long! The whole affair gets me up about 24'
