Turtleglass on here has one hell of a mobile setup. I think the thread is called "endless highway".

It is pretty pimp for sure.

I knew a guy back in the day that had a killer volvo box truck that was divided into half workspace half living space. Even had a dewar on the back bumper.

Amazing. Congrats on taking it to the next level!! I want to do something similar for going to festivals/markets/vacations. Can't wait to see this bad boy finished.

My first shop was in a '71 pop top VW bus. At first I had the fan out the side louvered window, and later switched it to face out the back door. It was actually pretty sweet. I shared it with two other blowers and we alternated times. I wish I had photos.

Looks like fun! I've checked out a few mobile shops recently... Turtle Glass has a bitchin' one (yo), also Bomdiggidy Smokeshop in Houston has a nice trailer they use for demos. I'll rustle up a photo or two.

Converting a bus is my goal for the summer... my lady went off to Minnesota and I can't follow without a major move, so it seems the most viable option. Should be a pretty fun build too :)

Here's a mobile setup I did a few years ago...

Cool set up Pogo do you still have that rig?

[Pogo]

Yeah, It's still rockin, Got it properly wired and shizz since that thread.
Also, Found out a Jenken Chilipepper fit on the bench nicely.
Pulled computer surround; upgraded to a LOUD Stereo PA setup with a laptop as the "receiver" and large external full-range speaker cabinets.

Don't use it but once in a while, but having it around has proved to be very beneficial. :D

edit: As for "properly wired", I meant I added switches to turn the fan on and off as opposed to the old way where the fan and light came on when the trailer was plugged in. re-reading my post I felt like it may have sounded like I ran it previously in an unsafely wired manner, which is incorrect. now back to your regularly scheduled programming....
