12 meter (40 ft) or 10 meter (33 ft) SpiderBeam fiberglass pole with
a 40 meter EFHW?   Alternatively a light weight 40 meter OCFD or a
multiband trap (wire) supported from the 12 meter SpiderBeam pole.

Otherwise look at the offerings from DX Commander.

I'm looking at a multi-band vertical that can be attached to the tent camper tongue 
framework (temporarily).  I want the antenna to cover 40-10 mtrs, easily set up and 
take dpown and can be collpsed to roughly 6 ft sections.  The old 14 AVQ would be 
pwerfect but is no longer made.
Any ideas?
