I finally got the mobile office thing going.

Today's Office:

I've still got to get the printer figured out but it seems to work well.

Special thanks to Veeper. Thanks friend. I appreciate all your help.

Who makes the laptop bracket? Am looking for something similar so I can run APRS off of one of my ham radio rigs.

Any regular ink jet printer will work well.
USB connected to the laptop.
And use a solid state pure sine wave inverter plugged into the vehicle power port to provide the 120 VAC for the printer.
They do make small rechargeable printers, but I'm guessing you want to print out reports & receipts.

Make sure your inverter can provide enough amps or watts. You'll need to compare specs for the printer and inverter.

Most computers and peripherals don't deal well with square wave or pulse width modulated AC so do your homework.

Mobotron. Some guy was selling it on Facebook market place for $30 so I scooped it up.
