Many thanks for the suggestions. I have been debating on whether to have the TS-140 in the truck cab with me, but maybe 2 meters is enough. Sometimes the distractions of using HF in the cab is not good. Have done mobile on many occasions but find with ANY tuning, I am outside the line. So will probably use 2 m in the truck, and then using the conduit flag pole idea for the screwdriver, running ground straps to the Airstream itself. Can't ask for a much better groundplane. Would mount the HF on the left table so could sit at the sofa and operate. Anyway, thanks again for the good suggestions.
