Buy a pop-up tent, like an EZ-UP. Many people have a 10'x10', they are easy to set up and take down by yourself. I find that a 12'x12' provides a bit more coverage for the vehicles that I work on.

Can't agree more. I have a 10×10 but will probably upgrade to a 12×12. Just make sure you have something to weight down the legs. Don't want it blowing away and scratching a customers vehicle.

As far as trailer vs van I'm reading here it's a personal preference. Personally I'm looking to purchase a trailer. Lower cost up front then a van and I can just tow it with a small truck (looking into a Tacoma as my next DD)

Go with the van & a 12x12 tent if you in it for the long haul

I have a 5X8 trailer I picked up used for $2500 loaded. Trailer was bought new from a big detail training company. I use 2 10X10 Canopy. Just get a spare tire for the trailer.
