Here's the link to another post I did about that. 
http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6690&title=thinking-about-installing-this

It's from Amazon and was $15.00.  The post has the link.  It took me a while to determine where I could install without having to drill a hole and still having access to 12v power.  It's mounted a little lower than I'd prefer, but will be convenient when in bed.  Otherwise I just need to bend over a bit 'cause it really needs to be seen direct on.  Also, it is bright.  The display can be blue or green.  Green is even brighter than the blue.

	Follow up to the question about using Velcro to attach the seat ends to the bench in the dinette. I found that the bench ends do indeed have a purpose; to keep the plywood under the cushions from sliding and keeping my ass from falling in the storage area. Well that didn't happen, but I could see the possibility. So I flipped the plywood over and added 1"X 1"'s at each end to keep the plywood from sliding either direction. Since I was there, I also ran a piece vertically in the middle as an attempt to strengthen the seat. I'll post a pic if I can remember.

	I just removed the fabric-covered ends. In addition to not staying on they were uncomfortable if you were sitting on the edge. The plywood in mine had hinges so no issues with sliding. I guess FR decided to save a buck on the hinges in later years.
