[nod] Most car trailers could easily accommodate a Galley; exact design is left as an exercise for the reader. :)

Full-size Buses and Semi-Trailers have the same problem: They're *too* big for a pod to accommodate. I think upper-limit would be a 15' car trailer.

There's also the expense -- even a lightly-armed and -armored full-size bus is a spendy bit of kit. (Dang, I've been watching too many reruns of _Wheeler Dealers_. :) )

Six armor facings; one turret. See _VG2_.
