It seems like a good tool to to make a vital task easier. Tires are so expensive.
Where does everyone mount their GPS and tire monitors? The windshield is too far away. The suction cups don't work on the shelf between the pilot and copilot's seats. I have a 'sandbag' base for the GPS but I'd like something neater. I don't like messy wires that look like an afterthought so I'm planning on hard wiring both of these things in so I don't have to use the cigarette lighter.
No drink holders either.....my wife pointed out that the reason there are no drink holders is that I'm supposed to have both hands on the wheel at all times. :D
I'm thinking the I can fabricate something less pourous to sit in that spot that will hold the suction cups and have a drink holder to.
I tried mine (TST) in several places. It ended up stuck on the dr side window near the front lower corner. Worked best for me for visibility and reflections. Try it in several places on yours to see what works best for you. I like my TST. Reliable. Batteries need to be replaced on the sensors once a year. Customer service is very good. Roger
I mounted the TST tire monitor on the dash to the right of the steering wheel with double side tape. 3M, 30 lb stuff. Cleaned surface with alcohol first and it has been in place for 2 years. A full charge last a very long time so I just watch the bars and once in a blue moon, plug in until charged, usually when parked, then disconnect.
Garmin 760RV is left of wheel and mounted to dash. Installed a 12vdc socket under dash cover connected to existing power port. Ran charger wire through dash to GPS. To mount the GPS, I used a simple right angle brace from local hardware store bolted to the dash (drilled small hole for bolt and also used some of the 3M tape). I removed the suction cup from the GPS mount and drilled hole to bolt mount to bracket. I did this on the road with hacksaw, file and drill so could have been a little more tiddy but is very solid.
The photos do not show much detail but will give you idea of how it worked out.
When I purchased my coach the PO had a stand for the GPS & rear view monitor made from wood. I remade it in black acrylic. I will post a pic next time I am at coach. It works well and is removable so no holes in dash. Harder to describe that see.

I have a Grand Villa like yours. I use the driver's side window, down in the forward lower corner of glass. The suction mount for the GPS works well there and it a short wire run under the dash.
I have the GPS and the TPMS mounted in the same area. I installed a dual 12 volt outlet under the dash in that area. Works out well.

Mounted DS undercabinet works OK. Drilled there to route to 12V TPMS views good; GPS Views good also however has remote as well. see pics
