How-dee!
Does anyone use some kind of vibration/shock absorbing material to protect their computer/monitors while driving?
I have a MacMini, monitor, drawing monitor, and external hard drives that I need to have in my Casita. They have to be tied down, obviously, but would like to know how to isolate them as much as possible from the vibrations and bumps on the road.

I was thinking of some way to attach these items to a surface, and then have show/vibration dampening material between that surface and the next. Thing is; how to keep it attached so it doesn't fly off while still being able to dampen the vibrations/shocks.
 
Most everything you put on the bed will be fine
 
Expansion cards in the past had to be reseated occasionally after transport. But for the most part solid state should be fine.
 
Consider putting portable hard drives I put between clothing, in a drawer. If you have vibration problems consider, using a laptop and storing it in a high quality computer case on top of some clothing in a closet or on the bed if it is heavy enough to stay there on the rougher roads.
 
If your computer has a hard card vs a hard drive it will handle vibration better.
