We have an actual "laptop tray/mount" in our TV, just slightly off to the left of the "nagivator's" (that's me,
) seat. There's really not a lot of bouncing around, at least no more than it would get sitting on a seat or in the trailer. We can't say for the long term that it won't do any damage, but we truly do not expect it to be a problem. Sue and Verle Castle
