I use a 30' push-up pole and rotate it manually when necessary. I operate mostly 20m for PSK-31 but I have fun on phone as well. Regarding grounding, I don't, but if you need to, you might consider grounding to your water pipes. It's a compromise, but better than nothing and safer than a ground rod in an RV park.
