Monitor mounts??

[Skh25]

For those with cameras on the back of their travel trailers, how do you mount your camera monitors??

I don't tow any more

I have seen backup camera monitors for trailers mounted on the dash in the left corner of the windshield.
I have also seen the monitor mounted just above the radio in that pocket on the dash

Personally i would prefer the monitor in the center of the dash,
When you are backing up, even without the trailer, your eyes should be pivoting from left to right to see where you are backing in the side mirrors, if you are doing that, having the monitor in the center of the dash, your peripheral vision would catch movement in the side mirrors too.
So basically your head would go from drivers side to monitor then to passenger side & back

But that is just my way of backing with my radios monitor

I don't have a trailer camera but I do have a wireless reversing camera connected to my Garmin, which is mounted like this

Look into the Ram Mounts. You can get a window mount on an arm and get something similar to a tablet mount to hold the monitor.

RAM® X-Grip® Universal Holder for 7"-8" Tablets with Ball (rammount.com)

RAM® Twist-Lock™ Suction Cup Base with Double Socket Arm (rammount.com)

But I am thinking of trying this way out and see how it works

That's exactly where I have mounted my monitors over the years. Even with the TT camera you need to be checking the mirrors and this gives the best of both worlds.

Here's my current setup - I did redo the wiring, this was the initial fit

I designed and 3d printed my own. Hard wired it in to a switch.

That's how I mount mine although haven't installed it on my new truck yet.

I use a modified Bayou Goat Mount for my Magellan Navigation System, it has a built in Dash Cam
I have the power wire coming out of the pocket that the mount is set in

I bought a Haloview camera and it uses a 7" monitor. I bought the windshield suction cup mount for it. I mount it in the lower middle of the windshield. The 7" monitor takes up a lot of space but it's only up when I'm towing the trailer.

I have a suction mount and mount it above my rear view mirror. It’s a Furrion 4.3” monitor so it’s pretty small. I’ve tried on the dash but could never get used to its positioning.

The Haloview RD10 looks very interesting and I may pick one up. https://www.haloview.com/haloview-wireless-rearview-observation-mirror-dashcam-rd10.html
