Hi, folks.

My XYL and I recently purchased an 18-foot Fleetwood Pioneer travel trailer
that we will be using both for recreational purposes, and as an emergency
communications trailer of sorts.  I am looking for suggestions as to an
easy-to-mount and store 2-meter/440 antenna for the trailer.  I already have
had someone help me install a "painter's pole mast" in the spare tire holder
on the back of the trailer for an HF antenna, which I am hoping will be the
Buddipole portable antenna you have heard me talk about on occasion.  I am
trying to think of how I might install a simple 2-meter/440 antenna (such as
the Diamond 770) below the HF antenna on that mast pole.  Problem is the
mast pole is made out of fiber glass, and I don't know how it would hold up
with "u" bolts and an L bracket, or something like that.

The trailer itself has some sort of "rubber" roof, and is sided with
aluminum, so I know of no place to put a magmount base.

I guess I could go with some kind of a "through the glass" antenna, but I
haven't had the greatest luck in the world with those.

I will use my second TMV7A as the 2-meter/440 rig, so maximum power used
should be no more than 50 watts.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  The goal here is economics,
practicality, and hopefully a minimum of holes drilled.

Thanks to all for any suggestions.
