Question Mount Garmin RV 1095

Same idea, different approach. I removed the screws that attach the A-pillar cover and attached my Ram track there only adding 2 additional screws. While only one side of the track is attached, it holds a garmin 890, RVI monitor, and an ipad. I have used this for over a year with no issues. When i get my unit back from the shop I will post pictures.

That works…but it would probably subconsciously drive me crazy to see screw holes without screws. It’s the pilot in me. When doing a walk around…we look for missing rivets and screws. An eye for symmetry. I found a missing bolt the other day on the motorhome while greasing the undercarriage. It holds then metal housing that shields the Driver’s side fuel filler hose. I have to find a matching bolt to replace the one that fell out or was never put in.

We have our 1090 at the front of the dash to the right of the steering wheel. We used a 3" 3M disk works perfect.

Here is my setup for my 890

I used bean bag..has no velcro to stick in place. Sits on dash edge, bean bag corner folded over edge and stays in place. Boss lady and lift and do what ever while we're driving, plus camera is centered. I use one also on driver side dash for my RVI monitor, when I get parked for winter in Fla they go in a cabinet and nothing on dash.

I decided to go for the A-pillar mount because I have a dash carpet. My '98 Dodge Ram dash crumbled due to sun exposure... I didn't want that to happen to the Coach as well...so, I keep it covered. I had used one of those slick round pucks taped down to the dash, before the carpet...and wondered if I should cut a hole in the carpet to keep using the suction cup. I don't know about anyone else...but almost every suction cup device I have used in a vehicle, save my quad lock mount, has fallen to the floor at some point. I just don't want to be driving and have the distraction of a Garmin falling or tipping over while driving. The Ram mount has been very reliable. Never fails...might sag a little and need to be readjusted...but not a distraction.

I still have toll transponders that use suction cups...and hate it. I'm probably going to 3m tape the toll transponder to the windshield next...

Yes, if you keep weight on the adhesive mount offset from center it's going to eventually come off. This is why I only attach the Garmin when in use, otherwise it's stowed in the side console, and I'm probably going on 2 years on the current mount. I also use an adhesive mount right of the wheel with a ram long arm and large x-grip that my iPad Mini goes into, that's even more weight "moment arm" working against the adhesive and it also has been on 2-3 years, again, the iPad mini comes off when at the destination. So if you're going to use an adhesive mount, only keep weight on it when in use (traveling) - I don't remove it at stops, only overnights. The 890 is nice as it's a magnetic mount, easy on/off.
