Here are the pics I mentioned, forgot to upload:

took a 1/2 day trip w/ goal in mind of testing the system out. It worked pretty well, the straps remove the front-to-back sway, which wouldn't been a problem if I'd only bolted the stand down. I plan to lay the TV down (but still strap in with the 2 bottom straps) while driving and NOT playing videos/ navigation/ computer use.
I'm using 2 steel rings for each strap, like the "D rings" on an old motorcycle helmet, to attach the straps of the harness to the permanently mounted (shorter) straps on the bunk and cabinets. Feels very solid, the strapping is lightweight 1-1/2" poly, $0.17/ft from http://www.strapworks.com/Polypro_Webbing_p/lwp112.htm.
The my wife sewed up using "coat" nylon thread, I think 70 lb test, double-sewn in tight zigzag pattern, in square boxes and Xs at eat point.
I have no offiliation w/ the company, first-time customer, but I found them ridiculously cheaper than buying locally, especially for velcro! I bought 50' of 1-1/2" "velcro" (not velcro brand) for $0.76/ft (each foot means 1ft of "hooks" and 1 ft of "loops", so 2 feet of material for 1 foot of usable (both sides) velcro). I plan to velcro everything, everywhere now, this price is so good!
Oh yeah: when all bunks are full of sleeping people, the TV fits nicely between the dinnette and the cab (driver's seat), though I probably need to put something protective over it, so it won't get climbed on by little feet during the night.
