I struggle with operating position myself. I have a TS2000 and simply put it on the dinette table with the lcd computer screen on top. There is still room for the DW and I to eat - play cards etc. I store the rig and secure it in the overhead storage cabinets when travelling. I have not really considered a permanent installation location so to speak.

I have seen some creative ideas with rigs in modified plastic crates - and secured with mounting brakets -- basically rig is protected and you simly connect power antenna and mic / key when you operate.

Good Luck
