Production Trucks

Does anyone here have any experience setting up a production truck?
I know Remy does - perhaps you'd be willing to share.

I'm looking at setting one up. I figure I can go one of a few different ways:
1 - a small box truck (~12-14 feet - diesel)
2 - a tow behind trailer (6*12)
3 - a full-sized van
4 - a school or similar bus

First real production. the question is..

Here's the scenario,

I was asked to produce a song - I didn't have anything to do with the recording of the music, but I arranged to get the artist on the song. I did no writing with the artist... but i will be the one to mix the track.

The song is to be put on the artists upcoming LP, my question is, what rights do i have and how do i get a piece of this action?

What mics to use for location video production?

I am looking at buying mics for my edirol 4 pro hard disk recorder to use on location for short films/weddings/documentary work. I'm thinking of getting either a Sennheiser me66 or 67 and a radio mic (lavier/handheld). I am open to suggestions for a omni directional mic for ambient sound recording and any other suggestions that you have.

Audio Patch panel in video production studio

Last week I came in a studio which uses a Mackie 1604. It is hooked up to a patch panel which links it to the different recorders and computers. Everything is connected with TRS jacks. The patch panel is a stero patch panel. But i saw they only used Mono-jacks to patch the signal. A lot of equipment uses balanced signals( Mackie 1604, dvcpro recorder, edititing stations end so on)
