I use a Radio Shack hand held that comes with a Cig Lighter power cord. I do not have an outside antenna, and since I'm all fiberglass, except for the frame, I do not have an outside antenna even though the factory makes one for the RV.
What I plan on doing is getting a magnetic mount and putting it on the frame, horizontally. We used to do this in the trunk of cars when we did not want to drill holes or mar the surface and it worked well. Range will be more limited than an outside antenna, but it will get you 2+ miles down the highway.
They also make glass mount antennas, and though not quite as efficient as permanently mounted antennas that provide a good ground plane, will still work for what you intend and 2+ more miles down the highway.
The Radio Shack hand held has priority channels, scanning of the channels, and 5 or 6 weather band frequencies.
Good luck.
Edited: Cobra also makes a good CG radio, both mobil and hand held.
