Good Morning Everyone!
Sacs and I were talking this morning about a computer setup in the coach. (After spending almost 3 weeks apart-we realized how much more important our laptops can be for communication with family & friends!) We will eventually be pulling one of the sofa's out of the coach to put in something that is suitable for a laptop (or two).
Can I ask everyone to post pictures of what your setup looks like in your own rigs? I would really like to find what is best suited for us!
Thanks to everyone for taking a few minutes to post a picture or two!

In our 28' TT, we just set our laptop up on my side of the dining table and when we're not using it, we close the top and set it aside, so we have room to play cards, eat, etc. Laptops don't take much room, so you can use them just about anywhere you want to. Of course, under the dining table we have a 120VAC outlet to plug in the power supply, but there are several outlets around the trailer. It just is the most convenient location for us.
When we travel, the laptop is back in its carrying case to prevent damage. We place the carrying case on the floor under the dining table.

Our trailer came with a rolltop desk, everything goes in there and when not in use we roll down the top.

We're on our 2nd year as fulltimers plus, I'm an officer of an FMCA National Chapter. Electronic communication is mandatory for us.
We use a Toshiba Satellite M35X-S311 laptop computer. I have an HP DeskJet printer that also can make photocopies plus act as a page scanner.
The printer sits on top of our built in oak 2 drawer cabinet located between the front passenger chair and the recliner. It stays there 24/7 including while`we're on the road.
The laptop sits on a $49 computer table from Camping World. It holds the laptop on an angle and tucks in to my recliner. So, I'm sitting here with my legs up comfortably and typing this message.
The table is on wheels so we can use it anywhere in the main cabin. While we're on the road we keep it next to the passenger chair where my wife follows our path with Microsoft Streets & Trips with GPS.
I have a Verizon Aircard which has allowed us to stay online while on the road almost everywhere we've driven to.
If I can find time tomorrow I'll take a couple of pictures.

We removed our table and chairs and had this one built in. The center part pulls out and is our table.

My rig came with a W/D combo in the bedroom. I removed the W/D and installed a slide out shelf. On this I mounted the Hughes Net modem, wireless HP printer and Linksys WRT-54GS router. Below the shelf I store my shredder and a small hand carried file cabinet. This area is also where I mounted the break out panel from the inverter. I just take the laptop wherever I'm sitting
