We have a class A and in that we have a dualband mobile, CB with weather alert, HF thru 70cm radio and an APRS station with mapping. The mobile and APRS radio have Comet antennas on the roof with a Firestick CB antenna. A screwdriver antenna is on the ladder for HF. All those antennas are tipable for low clearance by a Honda window regulator motor controlled from the drivers seat. Also, for HF, I have an antenna that is three nested PVC pipes with a wire inside fastened at the top. I can pull a cord that extends the sections to nearly 30'. I then connect an ugly balun to the wire and lay about ten radials on the ground.
DW is also licensed so we have several HTs that are useful if we are separated and for backing.
Toad has a dualbander.
Often use ARRLs TravelPlus Mobile GPS on Garmin Nuvi or RepeaterBook on phone to find nearby repeaters for contacts or Skywarn.
