I have always had CB antenna on my truck just to monitor the truckers when we are on the big roads. In all of my four to five years in the RV I have yet to talk with another RVer... I guess they are not just into CB radios anymore. We use the FRS radios around the camp sites...
There isn't much metal surfaces on the RV. best bet is mount the antenna on the mirror supports or mount a antenna directly to side of the RV up near the roof. That is where mine two antenna mounts on each side of the RV near the back of it...
I use my antennas for radio scanner listening most of the time...
This is mounted to feed into a ceiling mounted inside cabinet where I can run my RG cable down the walls behind things to where my radio is sitting...

These are 2M/440 Ham Radio Antennas but you can use the 27Mhz antennas there as well...
I used the side mount piece showm to cover the hole I drilled into the trailer and filled it all with RTV seal to keep the water out...
