I have a general question regarding the pro's and con's of two types of
antennas to be used for fixed station operation from a motorhome.


Is there any efficiency advantage between using a super sized Texas
bugcatcher type center loaded antenna about 18 feet tall, vs, a vertical
pole about 23' tall that is tuned with either a manual, or automatic
antenna tuner?

Either antenna would be mounted in same location, and use my best
connection to the under-chassis as ground point for feed.

My primary operations are on 80M and 40M. Vertical is mandatory due to
certain limited space parking situations.
