]I would have to say no for both. A medicine lodge just plain cannot be moved.

I seriously doubt that the aura of a vehicle would be strong enough to be a base
for a medicine lodge. Besides a vehicle is not an enviroment, it is in an
enviroment. A shaman in a car which is in a building can summon a hearth spirit
for a the building, not a car hearth spirit.

To qoute the rules:

"The medicine lodge must be in an environment suitable to the shaman's totem."

"The lodge can be indoors, in a cave, or even an open campsite, as long as it
has definite, marked-off boundaries."

"It takes one day per rating point of the lodge to do this because the shaman
must charge the new lodge with magical energy to link it to the Earth."

Thus, the lodge must be in an enviroment (which a vehicle is not), in an area
with definite boundaries (which a vechile actually has), and linked to the
Earth (which a vehicle is not). No Medicine lodges in vehicles.
