I just noticed this a few minutes ago. Not sure how long the discount has been in place; not sure how much longer it will remain in place.
Still, if one were inclined to buy the Garmin RV890, it seems to me that right now would be a good time.
I've been well pleased with mine during the 8,000+ miles I've used it this year.
Take care,
Stu

Take care,

Sounds tempting, but I think I will stick with my 5ish year old 770 for another couple of years.

I’m not Stu but I will tell you I mount it on the driver side window with the big suction cup that comes with it. Easy to see, easy to reach, much easier to use than the RM in dash.

Hi Gary,
I use the included suction mount that seems to hold very well. There's enough room on the faux wood panel to the right of the infotainment display to attach the suction mount. Power is easy from one of the USB ports.
Here's a screen capture from the entegracoach.com website of the '17 Anthem brochure that shows the location:
I don't believe that there's enough room there on many other models, but, it works for me. You can angle the display so that it's easily viewable from the driver's seat.
There's a phone app ( https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/666925) that uses a Bluetooth connection that makes it relatively easy to input destinations.
Take care,
Stu

Nah. It saved you $120!
It's all in your perspective.
Check out the smartphone app ( https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/666925) to allow Bluetooth connection for easy input of destinations.
Take care,
Stu

I’m usually busy enough driving so we mount it on the corner of our parcel tray. More important, my Co-Pilot makes any changes, but I can see it fine. We might try your location, I like that even better. It’s amazing how much sun glare you can get. The built in excite is pretty much useless. The overhead tv makes up for it…..

The Garmin phone app makes it easy for your copilot to make changes using the Bluetooth connection. The destination change pops up on the screen and one touch will select it.
Take care,
Stu

Looks like a nice parking spot Stu.
I used a suction connection on my Dash for my tire monitor and noticed it was leaving a spot or ring on the dash. Do you see that on yours?
