Default RV/Mobilehome RF gnd systems.

Does anyone have any novel ideas for RF grounds to use with an
RV/Mobilehome.
The antenna is vertical whip most times, about 7m. It is a modified
fishing
pole with a wire up the centre and a 1m detachable whip. A 4mm ' banana'
plug is the feed point for a flying lead to the Auto -tuner, one of the
SGC
range.
I generally use a counterpoise, or several, but having these laying around
campsites where non- amateurs may trip etc. concerns me.
The setup is only used when parked up.
I'm looking for 'out of the box' ideas, I can fit in a camping 'pitch' and
setup /tear down quickly.
