If you use two cb antennas, they use each other as their ground plane.
Not unless one is grounded.
If both are powered, they use each other as a director......which may or not be effective if there is no good ground.
A lot of truckers use an antenna bolted to their wide mount side mirrors.- http://www.firestik.com/Tech_Docs/Cab-over.htm

Here is what I have used on my trucks. yes you can use this without damaging paint. There are 2 different ones (both found on same link), depending on what your antenna needs to mount to.
I would put this on front hood, forward enough that antenna does not hit overhang of camper. I have used them for years for Amateur radio, but they also work for CB radio
