The ones I'm thinking of mapping are either physically in the form of
trailers, but static (i.e they have wheels but don't use them, or may even
have had the wheels removed), or are trailers/vans that are taken to the
same place every day over a long period (there's one in Cambridge,
nicknamed "The deathburger van", that's been using the same pitch every
evening since I was a student three decades ago, for example).

I'm inclined to agree that fish-and-chip vans are too mobile for OSM,
although I think we could perhaps map their scheduled stopping points (like
a catering version of bus stops).
