Let me bring this down to the practical world.  My QTH is a 42.5 ft. Travel Trailer which is insulated from the ground by 6 Rubber Tires and Air.  It has Metal, I presume Aluminum, siding and a Rubber over Wood Roof which is approx. 10 ft. off the ground.  My K2 is almost built and I will be operating CW exclusively QRP.  Are there any suggestions for either a commercially built antenna or a homebrew. (Recognizing that I am not a EE and have no formal electrical background!)

Thanks
