I'm considering CoPilot. How do you secure the Note while driving? I've seen a few pad holders out there, but wondering how robust they are.

Well it seems we're all gunning for these as the best choice. I wish they made them in warm white (too many years in an office cubicle has made me abhor the bluish tinge of white LEDs). If anyone is...

That's what we went with. We didn't buy the whole thing. Just bought the revolution LED bulb and swapped out the old one. Runs completely cool and much brighter. Also uses ~1/10 of the power.

We got one of those hide-a-key thingies and have hidden it in a good spot. It's saved us once already when our niece was over and she accidently locked the RV with everyone outside.
