Clean Install for TPMS & GPS

[DavidAndDonna]

hoping for some ideas on how to clean up the mess with TPMS and GPS sitting around on bean bags.

We have all these neat gadgets however, there's not a good place for them to sit. Sit on the dash, they get hot and won't work. Sit on the floor, and they're not eye level user friendly.

If someone's come up with a GOOD mod, could you post pics?
Thanks

I made a custom clear plastic upside down triangle that fits perfectly in my Super Duty’s center dash indent. Used velcro to mount the tpms and rear cam. Keeps them low and out of the way and doesn’t move around. I think it looks good too.
Having coffee before getting our rig ready for the long weekend trip so will snap a pic and post up later today.

I just got a mount from Bullet Mounts (https://www.bulletpointmountingsolutions.com/). I really like it. However, the ball sockets are smaller then the RAM stuff I had, so I got sockets from RAM and putting them on the mount from Bullet.

The "overhead rear view mirror" is essentially useless when towing (except to monitor back seat passengers). I used "Velcro sticky tape" applied to the back (front side) of the mirror and to the back of the monitors. Then, when towing, I attach them to the mirror. When we arrive and set up, I take them down so I can, again, use the rear view mirror for it's intended purposes.

looks interesting I'll check them out.
I know when exposed to to much sun these things shut down.

It won't work for a GPS (needs a clear through the windshield view) but it does work for rear camera monitors, TPMS monitors and such....

Yet I'm so used to looking at all the mirrors while driving and always think why is this jerk in the Springdale following me so closely.

Belated welcome to the forum…I have the same truck..I have the Garmin rv785 in a bean bag mount in the little center recessed well on top of the dash next to the 12 volt socket.
This works good because it’s also a dash cam
I have my tpms in the far left dash level of the windshield
I have another bean bag for my backup/observation camera on my console…I can glance at whenever I need to…the garmin doesn’t get hot on the dash

I hate clutter but this is the best I could do
