Monitor Mount for Winnebago View

[HawkTX]

We finally got our Blue Ox flat towing system set up for our Winnebago View and I purchased a flat tow camera system to be able to monitor the jeep behind our RV. I wanted to see if any of you have found any decent mounting systems for items such as the monitor or braking system monitor. Pics would be excellent or links to items that you recommend. I'm just not finding much that is compatible with my Sprinter chassis.

Since we often moved our GPS from car to RV , etc and often wanted to just get it out of the way, we found anything fully attached was not good for us.

We like a bean bag system that is heavy enough to just throw up on the dash, etc and it has rubber type backing that keeps it from sliding.
It has several things we liked as we could pick it up and move it so easy.

While driving, we sometimes decide we want a break, but I don't have time to drive and study the GPS, so I can reach up with one hand, pick it and hand to her for finding and putting in what we want.
Then when we got to a site in the RV, we just Unplugged, stored the cord, and GPS out of the way!

We tend to trade cars, RV, etc. often and like not having any excess holes or adhesives to mess with resale value! Also it allowed us to use one system in multiple vehicles. Your choices on that may be very different?

Lots of types, size and shapes to fit what you might have?

That looks like a good solution! Thanks for the link!

These are a bit hard to find now, the new ones seem to be taller but this one fits down low in the dash cup holder. I use it for my tablet and my SG III, it's low enough to where it doesn't interfere with my line of sight but high enough to see with a slight eye shift.

The only problem is the driver is the only one who can see it. To monitor the toad we just switch the rear camera display on the radio to stay on.

There's another mount similar to the bean bag idea that has a heavy moldable base that you can mold to fit anywhere. I have one and used it on our Highlander but when we got rear ended by a tractor trailer a few years ago it flew off the dash and punched me in the jaw and ear pretty hard, enough to cut my face open and I had jaw issues for over a year after that. So now I'm inclined to use something that stays put.

That being said, does your 2023 have the dash cup holders? Not sure if they phased those out.

Came across this one. I would never have this much stuff mounted on mine, but this is a neat option. A little pricey, but looks like it is made well and will keep your items sturdy.

Rearview mirror

Hi, we have a 2016 Cambria on the E450 chassis. It has a rearview mirror on the windshield but no back window. I found myself constantly checking it but nothing there. I got the Wolfbox G850 system with an extension for the camera cable. The video screen is long and narrow. It mounts on the rearview mirror with 2 rubber straps. Now it is like I really do have a functional rearview mirror. The camera mounts in back and gives me a 4K quality picture.

FYI - Found a hack product that has been on the market a while that allows you to use your dash camera and hacks it to stay on all the time so you don't need an extra monitor.
