One of the reasons I didn't even consider it originally was the whole stabilisation problem. If you look at the links I posted, you'll see that the solutions actually have means to stabilise by "detaching" from the trailer itself - isolating the scope completely from the trailer. The Pat Garland site has video links that show it clearly.

Also, I'd have NO intention of going to caravan parks anyway (for usage). The setup would be fairly self-sufficient, which can be reasonably achieved these days.

Cost - yeah, that will probably kill the idea, but I'll have to consider the difference to setting up a perm backyard obs. I'd have to "outsource" both builds anyway, since I have no tools or real skills in these areas, so there's little scope for me to cut costs by doing it myself.
