What I'd do is use the same conductivwe mazst and ground it to the roof at 
the base of the antenna.  If the only ground the antenna sees at the feed 
point is the mast, then it becomes the bround, and not a good one at that. 
I think that would work, but you need to strap it over to the rv there.  A 
non conductive mast will only make things worse, unless, again, you strap 
the feed point to the rv roof.
