With the ROAM system in place, power tools can be readily used and recharged, even in the middle of nowhere.

Extremely fun idea, but any "woodworking pro" that would go so far as to buy a fully outfitted van would be, by nature, incredibly picky about layout and space usage. The layout looks great in photos, but In practice pro carpenter vans and trailers are WAY more utilitarian...and I think more interesting.
Growing trend, High demand from clients for mobile service.
Good show Nissan...
