You'll want at least a 3 element yagi antenna per band and rotator and tower. Dipoles and doublets are not going to get many reponses when dxing. Also a legal limit linear amplifier and antenna tuning unit rated to handle the legal limit power. Also lots of RG-213 coax and many pl259's and a soldering iron and roll of flux cored electronics solder. If you want to work many bands then erect a quad as a multiband quad is more space efficient that several yagis.
I see that you are a nomad so most of the above will not apply. If there are no operators in your country there is little point in buying a radio for above 30 mhz as DXing will be your only way of making contacts.
If it were me in your situation I would settle for the ts480sat(model with tuner) or lincoln and use the tuner to tune a cb whip for 10 and 11 meters and mount it on your vehicle.
