I think Jake meant to make the tongue (not mast support) longer. Not sure how much length you'll save just by changing the angle?
One advantage of that approach, though, is to keep the mast away from the rear window. More than one cat sailor has poked a mast through the rear RV window...

I did...the tongue extension - not raising the mast higher. You'll have a hard time getting it high enough to clear the back of an RV without putting the mast support at risk of a structural failure or putting the back of the mast so low that it hits the ground going up sudden inclines (like some gas station entrances).
