What type of rig do you have? A Motorhome won't have too much vibration anyplace. If you have a travel trailer like I do, the smoothest spot is generally near the hitch or right above the wheels. If you have a fancy electronic machine, make sure you have a surge protector. Campground power is sometimes messy. I generally just take my little Featherweight since I really have only pieced on trips so far. They're tough and I don't worry much about it. I have a tool box bag from the hardware I store it in so it doesn't slide around.
i have taken a handcrank machine for longer non-electric trips, but I am not as efficient with it. Kind of fun though.
