John:

The "center tee" for the Buddipole dipole antenna has to be at the top of
the painter's pole mast.  It screws right into the top of the pole, so I
have nowhere above this to go for the 2-meter antenna.  This is my dilemma.

As I think I said earlier, I'm going to call R and L Electronics tomorrow to
see what the RV mounting kit is all about.

It only costs about $16 so may be worth looking into.

I may have to drill holes somewhere on the RV, but am trying to avoid that.

The mounting pipe for the painter's pole was welded onto a bracket for the
spare tire holder, and my XYL designed a way for me to bring the antenna
feedlines into the trailer through one of the storage bins underneeth one of
the seats in the trailer, so no holes yet.
