I would think that installing the radials needed for the steppir would present a challenge in most rv parks or campgrounds. Some friends an I experimented with radials last summer in a campground in Colorado and never got satisfactory results with the limited space. I use a Tarheel screwdriver and it out performed the other antennas, hands down. Could be that we were just not dedicated enough to make it work, but we spent quite a bit of time trying. We had some success using the motor home frame as a ground plane. My Tarheel is grounded to the frame on my Monaco and it just works. Sort of like a Thermos jug.
