Art! Hot and fresh.
I thought about it yesterday. If I was able to pick up something like an old postal truck or something about that size ... I think max ... a gutted panel van... I would probably have a small mobile shop. nothing fancy, 24" plotter, basic colors (red, white, black, blue, yellow, silver, gold, blue metallic, reflective white blue and red, etc) and a laptop and desktop printer (for a printed proof). Biggest thing would be all the stuff I need for mobile installing. Ladder, drills, removal and install (tools, chemicals, supplies, etc), maybe the occasional saw or whatever and a tool box of misc tools. Oh man, I would paint that postal vehicle something redonkulous like a dark metallic burple (blueish purple) and maybe have some bright blue air brushed flames on the front just to be obtrusive to peoples vision.

I mean, every on site install I've ever been on that had people around always has resulted in "hey ... come to think of it can you do X or Y as well" ... might be decent for last minute crap and a used roland and a small laptop loaded with corel draw and that roland cutting utility wouldn't be too much of a burden ... would just need to make sure my vinyl doesn't bake in the 100 degree sun. probably need to set up a dehumidifier though. or be on a rack I can roll off the vehicle when not in use and strapped down while in transit.

Looks like you spent some big bucks at Lowe's or Homeless Depot.

Those L5-30 Twist Lock plugs are about $12 from showmensupplies.com/

I'd use a ratchet strap around that generator to be safe or find a good welder.

Looks like you're making progress. Are you putting in just a vinyl cutter or a printer too?

I went pc shopping, im running an hp 3.2mhz 8g machine, should handle everything well, also got a apc battery back up, its 15 min. That will be enough for saving files if chit comes down.
I also conected my phones wireless tether with the pc, the speed is kinda slow, but will be enough for downloading small files using dropbox or remote pc from my other computer at the mall.
