I DO NOT LIKE GLASS MOUNTS.

Though they are ok for UHF,,Marginal at VHF,No good for HF

For HF..Consider (Let's see you have 28 feet You might squeeze a 10-15-20 fan dipole in that with a bit of work 10 on top 20 on bottom in an invrted V or 20 on top in a "V")

Two telescoping flag poles (Fiberglass if they do not bend too much)

One park on base under the front tire
One hitch mount,well you know where that goes.

Optional center support pole (Depending on if there is an attachment point handy) you can use Aluminum tubing here from any of the Ham Suppliers Say a bit longer than the Flag poles.

But the tubing needs a ground spike (Tent spike through a PVC pipe cap just small enoughto fit inside the bottom tube)

and some kind of "Eve" support.. If you have a well positioned slide out you can use it with a bit of assistance from me (let me know)or an awning support arm can be used as well.

Very close to what I use.
