Hey so I did a bit of searching and could not find any info or standing desks in vans...

I recently suffered a slipped disc in my lower spine and it's from 31 years of abuse to my body on skateboards, snowboards and bicycles amongst other things and being bad about stretching warm ups... but the biggest culprit and what ultimately did it was bad posture...

I work from my van a ton on my laptop.. I'm still building it out - just finished floor and insulation. I have new lumbar supports in my seats... sleeping with pillows...

I plan to have a garage with bikes and bed platform above that.

My question is for those with taller bike accomodating bed platform setups... do you think I could just stand next to the bed platform and put my laptop on the bed on a solid surface and that would work for a standing desk?

Or should I build something into the wall? or... what?

----

I know, kind of a weird topic, but as someone who is taking their time with their build I wanted to get this out there and get some opinions as I need to plan for this a bit... otherwise I would just try out the bed platform and see if it suffices - but I need a solution.

Thanks a ton for thoughts and opinions... hopefully we can get some good info and I'll post a photo of how I end up solving this problem...

Cheers and take care of yourselves! Stretch properly! Do Yoga, don't hate on it like I used to

I would suggest a Lagun table mount

THe bottom mounting bracket allows you to adjust the height of the table so you can vary the height instead of leaning over to match with bed height. There may be a number of places you could mount it in the van to provide you with a adjustable height and position laptop desk. Plus, you would not have to lean over, your feet would fit under the "overhang"

Not cheap, but very useful! In my setup, I can even use it outside the door. Additional base mounting plates are available.

Proeddie nailed it. The bed wouldn't give you the overhang you need, as in "toe kick," and the adjustable height of the Laguna would be a real plus.

Not to be a crusty curmudgeon but... it's a Lagun table... Laguna is a beach!


Just correcting so that searches will yield a positive result.

Seems like the table needs to be adjustable so your back can be against a vertical wall or surface for support on occasion.....

Is the ToughDesk 500L RGB Battlestation Gaming Desk still available somewhere at the old price? I want to purchase it and convert it to a desk and computer table. I have an electric height adjustable desk with a clear tabletop but no built-in anti-collision safety sensor. I want to purchase one separately. I also want to buy a smaller desk for my brother, like the one on eurekaergonomic.com. But I don't know if I can do the upgrade and install all the system unit parts inside. Also, a question about staining - can I replace the tabletop or paint it, won't that damage the surface?
