Hi, all.

As many of you know, I have been struggling with the Predator screw-driver 
antenna on my 31-foot Holiday Rambler RV, ever since my N2VZ Turbo-tuner 
became non-functional back about a year ago.

The Turbo-tuner issue is another story for another day, but suffice it to 
say that, due to the fact that N2VZ won't honor is "Lifetime Warranty", it 
is now not a viable option for me.

Anyway, in the interest of moving on, and pursuing other possibilities, I am 
wondering if something like an end-fed zep antenna might be an 
easily-deployable HF antenna for the RV.  There is not much room in our RV 
spot for a traditional half-wave dipole, or even an antenna like the Alpha 
Delta DXCC, but I thought an end-fed zep might be fun to try.

Does anyone have experience with these?

How much wire  would I need to get up and running, say on 40 through 10 
meters?

 How easy or dificult would it be to make one?

I think I could run the antenna from the RV to a tree on the other end of 
our RV lot, if that would help.

Just exploring options here.

With the North American QSO Party CW contest coming up in early August, I'd 
like to have something up and running from the RV by that time, even if it 
is temporary.
