TPMS and GPS Mounting on Dutch Star Dashboard
As we add smartphones and tablets to monitor things, I would love to see pics of how other Dutch Star owners have mounted their multiple devices to view as they drive on down the road!

I'm interested as well.
Also would like to see how others have powered the multi devices. It seems like hard wiring some may be worth effort vs 12V outlets and splitters?

I haven't gotten to my "dash remodeling" stage yet since we just took delivery less than two weeks ago.
I will be watching this thread for some good ideas though. My initial thoughts are to use my RAND RV GPS over on the passenger area since I should be able to see the built in GPS from the driver's position.
So, for right now that leaves my TPMS to be mounted on my side and a clean neat way to mount the RAND on the other side.

Palms, that doesn't block your view ? I tried my gps there and it blacked too much of my view...
So, for the Garmin GPS I got this to set it just to the right of the dash 'hump'.
Makes it easy to allow the copilot to manipulate it if needed and hugs the dash well with the larger 7" screen.
and one of these to connect everything, including an iPhone charger.
I didn't want a permanent mount since we like to pull the stuff down to the floor to make them less 'enticing'

Dash Layout
This is a Ventana dash (2016).
TPMS is mounted on side window.
Dash video camera mounted on windshield.
GPS on dash.
We had two 12V outlets added to the dash, left of the steering wheel and this is where the TPMS and Dash Camera are plugged in. The GPS is plugged into the standard 12V next to the phone charger.

I sit high enough and with that 10’ diagonal windshield, the view is breathtaking. No blocked view. Use 3m disks w/suction cup mounts for all, including Valentine One on center console not in pic.

We couldn't decide where to put our stuff so my DW found this on amazon and we love it!

It will hold most stuff you want on your dash and it can go anyplace you want....it has not moved while driving.

That is what I'm after, clean looking and not cluttered. Somewhere along the line I have lost my suction cup mount for my TPMS so I will have to order another one.

GPS is the Xite in dash. iPhone is Bluetooth to the radio. I can take phone calls as well as play music and audiobooks from the phone through the Xite. The dash cam wire runs along the windshield, under the window trim to the USB port on the left control panel. Ez tpms is wireless. Sorry for all the Tucson sun in the picture.
