There's a kind of mobile travel desk made that is, very roughly speaking, 
a box that sits on the passenger seat and is attached via the seat's lap 
belt. I've seen at least two variations on the "box", but each was pretty 
well thought out, with a place for a few vertical file folders, a writing 
surface, swing-out arm, shelf for laptop, storage for misc desk stuff. 
One example I find right away is in Cabela's catalog: "Auto Exec Mobile 
Office", item RL-51-2713. Web is "cabelas.com". If you have the bench 
seat something like that might fit your needs *and* leave room for the 
co-pilot.

Might depend on the inverter. Some computers are sensitive current which 
is not a true sine wave, and all but the most expensive inverters supply 
a "modified" od "square" sine wave. However, some laptops continue to run 
off the battery when plugged into AC: the AC then simply keeps the 
battery charged, and this might buffer the current. Bottom line: might be 
OK, but *check with somebody who knows your equipment before plugging 
in!* 

BTW: hope you have a"Dog is my Co-pilot" bumper sticker!
