I only need to get some 20-25 feet above my OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer to support an off-center HF long wire antenna. Then run the legs up into some trees close by. This to be used with my 100WATT Ham Radio mobile setup at the camp sites...
I found a couple of 3-inch aluminum tower sections that are a 5-feet long. I'm thinking and using hinges so I can lay this two section folding combo on the back bumper of my off-road trailer and when parked can fold both sections up in the air ten feet above my trailer. Then it can tie into the roof section of my popup trailer for more support.
This 3-inch tower is perfect to slip a 2-inch PVC pipe into the middle of it and extend on up to hang my RG cable and balum for my antenna. Like said I only need to get up around the 25-foot level for my radio ops....
You can get an idea from this overall drawing of my off-road POPUP trailer setup...
