Attn cargo vanners. How do some of you guys secure your laptops when driving with the MS Streets and Trips?
Thanks. :+ :+

In my truck when the passenger seat is all the way forward there's only about a 4" gap to the dash. I just put the laptop in the seat and let it ride. Even if I ever had to do an end of the world panic stop it couldn't do more than slide forward a few inches. So far it's ridden fine and only moves a little from the bouncing on the poorly maintained roadways. There's a company that makes a fancy (expensive) articulated arm and platform system for laptop securement. I don't remember their name but I'm sure a websearch would turn it up. If I ever get a co-driver I'll have to get one of those but for now this works fine. Good luck.

When I had my van , and this should work in any truck. I used the mount from my QC and mountd it on a piece of wood. You can go to any hardware store and pick up the threaded 1/2" black pipe and fittings to make this mount. They have a base that you can screw to your console or floor and to the piece of wood to hold your laptop. It is very reasonable and works great. Drive Safely..Butch :D :D :D
