I think your Velcro solution is a good one but would still rather have it fit in the instrument panel as opposed to on the panel.  I do not know if putting it in the panel is doable as I have not done the research.

Has anyone done the research, or better yet has anyone installed a monitor in the opening?  The reason I'm asking is
because even though I know the size of the opening in the dash (7.5" X 4.25"),  I can't seem to get the dimensions of a
monitor that might fit,  anywhere.  The dimensions they give online seem difficult to use.

I think your options are a surface mount like mine or go with a smaller screen and make a filler face plate for the opening.

Great tech article Rich.  Your surface mount looks fine..
What are the model numbers for the Tadi Brothers 7" monitor and the camera?
Thanks.

That looks good also.  What monitor is that?

Line your monitor hole with Velcro then surface mount the largest monitor that won't interfere with the nearby switches.

The top one is for cameras (Total Vision) and the lower one is Valor for the system monitor

I do not know about the rest of your dashes, but on mine, the switch that is most likely to interfere is the Auto/Manual switch for the generator. I do not use that switch (it is always in the manual mode), so I thought of just removing that switch. However, my coach came with the two-position camera upgrade, so there is a (now unused) switch below the monitor switch. I simply moved the connectors from the Auto/Manual switch to the unmarked two-position switch.

Hope this helps,

Traveling Man,

I just bought the 7" kit and upgraded to the HD monitor.  Don't have the info with me.
