Hi Rich. Welcome to the "pop-up" club. I've been using one for three
years now, and have tried just about everything, including hauling a
beam and 30' of mast around.
Always problems...too many trees, not enough trees, no place to guy the
mast, etc. Going to try the SLV with W6MMA coil during QTTF. If you
hear me, you'll know it worked, :-)
Seriously, the tent trailers don't have enough stability to support much
of an antenna, and tend to sway a lot in the wind. You'll need trees or
some sort of free-standing antenna. I have a roof rack on my Coleman,
and it's not strong enough to support much and doesn't give much ground
plane. I've always had to fall back on trees or guyed masts.
I think the SLV is going to work fine.
CU in the field....Roger
