Clearly, the dipole was installed by the camper manufacturer as an added option and was intended to receive stations very close and strong. Moving into a clearing may improve signal strength, but the answer, IMO, would be to nix the dipole and install a higher gain, multi-band, multi-element yagi, that can go up and come down easily in his camping scenario...with alittle thought and imagination, it could be an easy fix.
