That's a cool idea!

As for 'closest you'll ever get,' if you travel a lot and are interested 
in it, it CAN be cool! If you don't like talking to strangers, then no.

And you can get a handheld to keep in the camper - limited range, of 
course - for less than $50. Or you can install a mobile unit. This weekend
is the Huntsville Hamfest, and four years ago I think it was, my wife and
I went and I came home with TWO matching mobile rigs, antennas and mounting
hardware for $625. I know prices are more, now, but I'm confident you can
still get in for about $300 total.
