Jeff,
We are very successful on HF from our travel trailer. We use a G5RV-Jr dipole when we can (not very often, unfortunately) connected to an antenna switch at the station. Normally we use a High Sierra 1800 motorized vertical on a Tarheel Lift and Lay on the trailer's roof, with a 102" whip. Not as good for dx as the dipole but better at shorter distances. Nice to have both connected and able to switch between, but just don't get to do this often enough.
I like the idea of the 75/80 twin sticks as another dipole, since our G5RV-jr isn't built for 75/80 and our High Sierra doesn't do 80 well enough at all.
We travel spring through fall and sometimes can pull the shortened dipole between trees. As infrequently as that works out, the longer dipole would be even less likely. Someday maybe I'll find a Buckmaster OCF under my Christmas tree.
I'd love to hear what you worked out,
N5RTG Jim
