It could be done, but it would cost you quite a bit of bed space.

Now, I'm still waiting to get my feet wet with WVO as I've only been into diesels for a few months now and I haven't been able to afford a Vegistroke kit yet... but based on everything I've learned, a mobile centrifuge system would make compact mobile filtering possible. My plan for my van involves having a custom tank with extra lines for a pump and centrifuge, and using the V3 system to heat the oil before it's filtered. I plan on using shut-off valves to prevent the dirty oil from entering the motor. I feel pretty clever having figured it all out without any guidance, although I've yet to put it all together.
Any thoughts on this?
