Weird title I know!
If you have kids, then you will know that DVD players could only have been designed by the Gods of Tranquillity. But you are left with a problem. Whereas in a car, you can fix them to the rods of the headrest, chances are that in the moho, they sit on a table.
Which turns them into missiles if you brake sharply or hit something. Even going round a roundabout sends loose dvds, drinks, etc flying round the living area, despite agonised cries of “Why can’t you hold onto your stuff?”
Secondly, and separately, it is rather too easy for a small, fidgety family member to fall out of the centre lifting bed in the night. They either fall on the floor and yell, or fall on the drivers chairs and yell.
So here is the answer to both. And if like us, you are watching the weight, I love one thing doing two jobs!
Get a piece of Perspex or wood (my first version was wood) about half inch thick and the length of your table. Sorry to mix imperial with metric, but carefully drill 4 12mm holes to fit M12 bolts to take the DVD mounts. Perspex drills best with a cordless low speed drill IMHO. Then drill an 8mm hole for an M 8 bolt to act as the DVD spike holder. You need two small g clamps, one for each end. Finally buy two bottle holders which you superglue on top.

The bar is then easily removed when you arrive, ready for its second role.
You will see the two grey/white brackets. These can be got from Ikea. You need their Vikare - https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/vikare-guard-rail-white-30099293/ We got two and used the brackets from one and cut down the bar on the other to fit the odd shaped bed.
This is how it fits as a bed guard.
Weighs about 2 kilos which works for us!
