OM Ed,
I've been RV camping for 35+ years and offer the following based on my
experience.
I'd go with a relay-switched, base loaded telescoping pole clamped to the top
of the ladder. I'd go to great lengths to assure a ground plane and would
recommend strips of adhesive-backed stainless steel tape. One for 40m, and one
for 20m for a fiberglass roofed RV.
I'd find folding up all the aluminum rods for the AV-640 a pain that would take
a long time during "break-camp."
One thing that I've had trouble with is tripping the GCI at the electric outlet
caused by induced RF. I found that putting a few turns of the cord through a
BIG toroid core at the electric outlet stopped the trouble.
Be Well,
Tim
