What do you use for a laptop stand or desk for keyboard and mouse?

    With the air bag steering wheels I find these steering wheel desks wind up causing the city horn to blow when writing or setting a laptop on them.

    This is very easy to do. I have a high loft Peterbilt and I still feel cramped for space. If you have a smaller cab (most are) space will probably be a real struggle.

    You might want to consider literally using it like the name implies, sit in your bunk with it on your lap. Then, if you need a mouse, you could just put something small next to you to roll it over.

    I’m considering moving my bed into the top bunk and using the lower area for storage and a makeshift kitchen. If so, I can then have some shelving and a bigger refrigerator and/or a tiny box freezer. I’m a company driver and we aren’t supposed to mess with our inverters. But, they put in a POS modified sine wave model. I may risk it and put in a pure sine wave in its place. The mechanics always want us to have our bunks cleared so they can replace filters at service time; but, I’ve also had a mechanic ask if I wanted to replace the filters. If I leave my bunk covered maybe they’ll never know about my inverter…

    I can't spend money I don't have. I'm also taking an online class and a fullsize keyboard and mouse makes everything much easier.
