And about six feet up on the side of the RV is a common mending Bar, a flat metal bar with 4 screw holes. lag bolted with some washers between teh bar and the body so as to have a gap.. Painted to match the RV it's hard to find.
I use a cargo strap to secure the mast at that point. Does not wander too much
This holds one end of my Ham antenna and my Wi-Fi client.
Never put a TV antann on it.
