I'm working more on the road now, so I needed a way to conveniently use a large computer display in my Westy. I had a custom rear table leg fabricated to support the display on an inexpensive arm, so it can be stowed for travel and easily deployed when camping.

I just completed a coast-to-coast trip, stopping at RV parks along the way, and it worked out really well! I was able to get a lot of work done at each stop.

Questions welcome! I enjoy projects like this, and writing about them, so I hope some of you find it interesting.

That's a neat solution and a terrific write-up including details on services and materials.

The 1999 post on GPS is fun too. I remember carrying a 1 lb Trimble GPS unit back in the mid-90s. Very Happy
