Most of the ones that I have seen are a converted van or bus but the
name is now a generic so that you see permanent structures

Mobile Chip Wagon (At least in theory

Permanet structure but still called a chip wagon

Due to the local weather most are only open 5-8 months of the year but
they are generally accepted as having the best chips one can buy. Most
of the ones I know cut their own fries; in an emergency, as you wait.

I don't think I've ever seen poutine on a menu, either.
Well that is perhaps a local 'delicacy'. Great for weight watchers
though: One can watch one's waist expand as one eats.
