pfft, that's nothing.

i guess, if you'd buy Lemur, MachineDrum and Monome from the same dealer, you get a desk and a little car for free. fair deal

Ah, the Space Cowboys... They have a great mobile rig.
I once considered buying a van which had a large platform welded on it's roof, along with a ladder up to it. I would have been great for guerrilla ambient spooky music shows.

I share your vision of performing outdoors.
Check this:
solar power for laptops:

Maybe a few of these for all the gear, or perhaps in time -as this technology progresses.
They also have a tricked-out truck for larger solar power requirements.

what about a couple of these split out of your headphone jack (they have built in rechargable batteries and can easily fit into a backpack):

Not bad, thanks! With a bus powered I/O I could use a number of these for spatialized sound outdoors.
