Recently purchased the TST TPMS, it came with everything except a mount that I can use. A small plastic clip was provided for mounting it on a dashboard air vent. I have a 2000 Winnebago Adventurer, and it doesn't have any vent located above knee level. I checked on TST's site and they don't list any universal dash mounts. I would like to set the system as near center stage as possible and within my normal gauge scan. Any ideas or solutions?

"Velcro" or generic equivalent works well for me. I put a 1" patch on the receiver back, and the other half/side on the dash where it was convenient to read. Wipe the dash mounting spot with alcohol first or the sticky will come loose when it gets warmed by the sun.

I used their dash mount that has a sticky back and mounted in a good out of the way easy too see on my dash. The dash mount is about 2 1/2 inch long by 3/4 inch wide with a metal strip that sticks up and the unit sits onto this strip. Easy to see, easy to set unit on it and take off.

I have the 510 RV Model, found the double sided 3M 3 1/2" x 3/4" strip but no metal plate. I checked several Universal cell phone holders, however due to the monitors unusual shape, none would work. I felt since TST made the monitor an unusual shape, they must have done so for a reason. I affixed the 3M strip to the bottom flat side and placed it on the ledge on the lower portion of the Freight Liner Dashboard. This makes the installation a little semi permanent, which I was not hoping for. I like more flexible options, but I guess I'll have to go with I have....it's workable. Thanks PugPug and Ray,IN

I used Velcro. Mounted it so the monitor is upright on the top of the dash. I did this so any changes may catch my eye and alert me quicker since i constantly scan when driving. The velcro is mounted the same way in the TOAD and I just transfer from coach to TOAD when we are stopped for a few days.
Good luck.
