No, it's not a crazy trailer setup like beerthirty has, but it's perfect for my needs. The only thing I'm looking to change is to ditch all the vinyl tubing (please don't berate me, I didn't know any better) and replace it with silicone with QDs.
First is the mashing setup. I do my mashing in the kitchen. Here's an overview of the cart and equipment:
My HLT is my old brew kettle that I used when I did extract brewing. I heat up my strike/sparge water as needed.
The stike/sparge water just drains straight into my mash tun. The mash tun has a false bottom I picked up from Northern Brewer.
Ball valve mounted in the mash tun to feed my pump:
Here's my recirculation pump. No, it's not a March Pump. It's a Pondmaster 350. When I first tested it out, it leaked a little through the pump cover (it cracked from the heat). I sealed the cracks with a small bead of silicone and it hasn't dripped a single drop since.
The pump feeds my heat exchanger. Just a little 2 gallon cooler:
