The ARRL Antenna Book assumes ~10 ohms of ground loss

lowest I can get for a 75m mobile antenna feedpoint.

Yes, but most mobiles are cars or pickups. Wouldn't you think that
losses might be less on a large vehcle like an RV or truck, especially
with such a high feedpoint as previously suggested ( 10 feet ) ?

Sorry, I've been out of town for a few days and didn't
realize that an RV was being discussed.
