GPS suction cup mount

[DF5.4]

I second Ram Mounts (Ram Mounts - Mobile Mounting Solutions). You can buy the parts individually and setup a mount that works for you. You can get the parts through Amazon.com too.

The Steelie Car Mount Kit is working great for us and have it for all our equipment (phones, GPS, tablets and CB) and vehicles (truck and van): https://www.niteize.com/product/Stee...-Mount-Kit.asp. Did choose to buy the items through e-Bay though.

I have one like this and it works well for me.
If interested I'll look up where I got it from

The circular 90mm 3M Adhesive Console Dash Base looks like what I need. I ordered 2 of them from Amazon Prime for $1.49 each. My RV is an FR3 30DS. The windshield is vertical and roughly 18 inches away from the front of the dash so glass mount is out of the question. Sandbag types would probably work too but trying a $1.49 solution first is a no-brainer. Thank you all for your suggestions. I'll let you all know if the adhesive base does the trick as is did for RubyDually.

I use the one that plugs into the 12v outlet/cigarette lighter socket. Works well for us. You can see it here on Amazon.


You can also get a holder that sites in a cup holder or one that mounts in the CD player. I was looked at every type of holder for my 7" GPS before I found the 12v outlet one.

When reviewing options for my new Garmin, I read many comments about the marks left on the window when GPS was removed, that it was a clear signal to thieves to break in for the GPS. The friction mount is like a bean sack and is quickly picked up, stowed under the seat, GPS itself goes in my purse if I leave the car.
Some folks were complaining about suction type mounts on dash actually reacting with the dash finish, leaving permanent stain.

Hello,
the best thing ever to hold Navigations, phones or tablets is
ProClip holders, check their web and
find out, no vibrations, no drilling, only clip it and very, very quality products .....:-)

I have a windshield mount that is about a foot long, comes almost to edge of dash on a class c.

I use those also. Got several of them in different vehicles.

I'm late to the party, but Ram Mounts are the best product on the market. Prices are pretty reasonable, it's all made in USA and engineered by smart people. The company I work for cooperates with them on law enforcement and military applications.

It's not worth cheaping out on this stuff (not saying you are, just an observation). These units are heavy enough to do real damage in an accident - you don't want them to become airborne (ever).

Get a Ram mount - they have every conceivable design you could think of. I really like the ones that use the seat brackets to mount a vertical pole. It's overkill, but you can remove them easily when they aren't needed. Sturdy, safe and adjustable. Suction cups don't last all that long before they deform in the heat.

I just looked at the RAM website. Impressive. If my buck and a half solution doesn't work, that's what I'll get. Their stuff seems very reasonably priced. Thanks everybody for all the suggestions and for sharing your experiences.
