    Hi
    forgive me first for my bad English :eek:
    I live in France and I go very often to Marocco on the offroad ways....
    I have already an toughbook CF-18 and recently I bought a screen CF-VDL01(panasonic) and so, I am looking for a sort of cradle to fit this screen, and after I can manage with a ram-mount succion.
    unfortunately, I did not find anything for the present....could you help me to find that? :)
    Best regards
    Francois

    I'm not sure if they make a dock for that exactly, perhpas others would chime in.... But I would think industrial strength Velcro would help out... It certainly has the stick.... Plus it puts up with the heat for the most part.

    Just an idea.

    I have seen them on Ebay from time to time or if you have lots of money you can get them from Gamber Johnson or Ledco the unit looks like a folding chair and has a spot for the LCD and the PDRC keyboard. Look up PDRC on Ebay and you will see some sellers that have pictures of the whole mount with monitor and keyboard attached.

    Thank's for your answers
    I know there is one for the CF-08....funny no one exists for the CF-VDL01...and too expensive from GamberJohnson or Ledco and I have no room for that!

    I built this mount for my CF-VDW07 in about an hour:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=280551&highlight=cf+vdw07
    I have since built a similar one for a CF-18, the only real difference being a double suction cup RAM mount in lieu of the single one. It held the 18 with no problems for 6,500 miles this fall. I am getting ready to build a couple for CF-VDL01's. You should be able to put the whole thing together for around $50.
