Original question asked on Oct 24, 2011, 1:09pm

I already have a mount in my F250 with a double swing arm and looking for a way to modify this to fit an ASUS Slate Tablet (12.5 X 8.25" landscape)that has a small (6 X 14") bluetooth keyboard. The Tough Tray looks like it will fit the tablet perfectly. It looks like all I need to do is mount the tray to the end of the swing arm. This would put the tray in an upright rather than horizontal position. I also need an option for the keyboard.

Wondering if I could or if it would be wise to use Model No: RAP-111 / SKU RAP-111 mounted to the front of tray (may require drilling some holes to match single hole pattern) then mount the small keyboard with a Tough Tray II. This would allow me to have the tablet in an upright position while having the keyboard mounted below and in from of the tablet in a horizontal position.

Any help or advice on if the Tough Tray could stand up to the downward pressure from the use of keyboard would be helpful.

The use of 2 of the RAM Mount Netbook Tablet Mount Tough Tray II RAM-234-6 along with the RAP-111, a RAM-201 arm, and a RAM-202U ball may be a viable solution.
The RAP-111 would mount to the front of one of the tablet trays and connect the RAM-201 and RAM-202 to the other tray.
The tray used for the bluetooth keyboard will not be wide enough to for the keyboard but would work if it is set up with the tray and locked down with a set screw in the widest position. It would then have enough support using the top, bottom and 1 of the sides.
