Suggest a Shotgun Rack, PLEASE

I have a problem, seriously, not a mental problem

I have a Mosberg 500 with a Blackhawk colapsable tactical stock, pistol grip, and laser/flashlight sight mounted on top. I'm trying to find a way to mount this shotgun at my bedside.

First off let me tell you about my bedside. I currently reside in a 45' Travel Supreme RV or Motorcoach as some call it, this is basically a luxury condo on wheels. The walls are not very thick and will support the weight of the gun and a rack but won't accomadate many screw type mounting hardware.

Any ideas will be greatly appreaciated. The only thing I've tried so far was a shotgun scabbard that was susposed to fit a tactical shotgun, NOT, didn't fit.

That backup looks good, but I wonder if the part that goes between the mattresses will be hard to sleep over.

Here is another ready made. http://www.gunracksplus.com/servlet/...bed-gun/Detail Depending on what kind of a bed frame you have, you may want to cobble something together. You should be able to bolt some heavy hooks or hooks made from bending flat stips of steel to it. Soemone also makes a locking gun case designed to slide under the bed if you search for it on the net.

Maybe go low tech. If you have about $5.00 and some free time there is this option, which was made from 3/4" pvc pipe. Maybe add some kind of rubber or foam padding to the cradles.

I knew someone would have an answer, and after watching the commericals on their site I wonder if you can find it at the "As Seen On TV" Store

Actually that looks perfect for my situation, thanks for all the replies.
