Ham antenna mount

I'm looking for options on mounting a copper J Pole to the trailer or free standing. I'm thinking some kind of telescoping pole I could secure to the trailer tongue to get the J Pole above the trailer roof? I have a toy hauler so no rear bumper. What are you guys using?

If the J-Pole is light enough, you could just use 1" PVC. I use two pieces of 7 foot long 1" PVC and couple them together with a PVC junction to support my Diamond X30 antenna. Works very well and looks nice too. The two seven foot PVC pieces fit nicely in the pass-through storage underneath, along with the antenna. Of course you will still have to figure out how to support the PVC off your trailer tongue. Could just use bunji cords and fasten it to side of the trailer at the awning support??? I use a special flag pole holder mounted on my rear ladder. The Diamond X30 is probably lighter than your J-Pole....and works just as well .... is a dual band, BTW.
