Why not use the vehicle for the counterpoise like mobile antennas do?

Sorry, I should have said, the antenna is not mounted on the vehicle. I
use
a small tripod. Running one coax shortish coax with a power lead taped to
it is fine but a long , or several long, counter poises are what concern
me.


Then run a "shortish" earth braid from the vehicle's chassis to the antenna.

It really is not rocket science.
