could work if you displayed what you were working towards and and to continue working on this displayed project, people passing by could put in $$$

I think this could be a really great way to promote a design studio locally and find new clients. It's actually quite a good promotional "vehicle" in that sense. The design happening in the truck would/could be more for show, but it's fun and engages people, and who knows, it could lead to a meeting on the spot and new work.

it could bd a good on set outpost for film/editing, categorizing footage, uploading dailies, controlling experiential graphics in a place that's not aheady set up for that.
I think there could be a market for such a rental with or without resources to run it. Id hit up ppl like Goldenvoice and AEG for events, production companies for movies and TV, ad agencies for commercials, and places like Quiote or Smashbox as an optional addition to for shoots. So many commercial shoots add extra shoot elements for web. i can see a lot of situations where it would be helpful to check, possibility manipulate to make sure what you have works and copy to drives before I leave. that process would literally save days. It would be a nice work station for a line producer and interns in the field. A mobile control room wild be great for small festivals.
Am i crazy?
- A friend of mine has a mobile recording studio - he's pretty busy with it. I would imagine that portable film-edit suites existGnash

A good buddy of mine started a video studio that he called 'More Burritos,' and worked out of a sprinter van in Los Angeles. I think it's a great idea for that use case because you can shoot on set, and work near your client while you edit.
The only drawback I saw was: even though he had 2 AC units it was still hot AF in the thing (he got a black van tho).
He ended up folding. But it was probably more a case of issues he was dealing with rather than it being a bad idea.
