Yes.
The QSOs you make on the road cannot count in a Single-Operator category,
and the QSOs you make from your fixed station at home cannot count in
the Rover category. I suppose you could operate Rover the entire weekend
if you continued to make QSOs using your vehicle's gear and antennas once
you get home (like, parked in your driveway.)
Some people might be confused if you sign KA5CVH/R and later sign KA5CVH.
Most stations will probably not want to work you again once you're at home,
as their logging software will probably think you are a duplicate. If
you can, I'd recommend trying to borrow a callsign for one or the other
operation. Like, if your local radio club has its own club callsign,
ask the officers if you use that for the rover operation.

If you don't want to submit logs for the contest, and you don't mind the
KA5CVH v. KA5CVH/R confusion, then you can log them in whatever way you
please.
