Here's another idea that I have yet to implement. Tightly mount an approximately 18" long piece of cord (thin but strong) to the ceiling of the RV right over where your head is when you are in the cab-over bed. Slip your laptop's screen between the ceiling and cord so it rests at the hinge of the screen and keyboard. The keyboard will hang down vertically so you can access it as you lay flat on your back looking up at the screen.
Some laptops, especially the mini's even have enough hinge resistance to allow you to close up the laptop when you are ready to close your eyes.
This simple idea came to me while using my laptop in bed, and was inspired by an invention by one of my college prof's. It is called the Unidesk; an "upside down desk" which uses similar strapping to allow books to be held in place. Giving credit, his name was Dr. Richard Stapleton and here is his website. http://richardstapleton.com/unidesk.htm
This idea or some sort of different mounting method would also work great with an iPad or Kindle or other tablet computer with a touch screen.
