Dash Cam on Class A

Anyone have a favorite dash cam for a Class A? It looks like many are tailored for a sloped car windshield or mirror, of which my Class A has neither.

I do have a 12V socket on the dash near the base of the windshield.
  • I didn't see where go-pro made a dash cam. I guess I was looking for something that had the software that would make it a little more passive for me (loop). I don't want to spend much time managing it or I won't end up using it.
  • Go-Pro has been the standard for portable video cameras. They are more expensive than the cheap Chinese brands but they have been proven by many people using them on helmets, race cars, etc. Personally I think that mounted on the windshield of an RV is going to give it a pretty rough ride. My Go-Pro has held up now for 40,000 miles on the "smooth as glass" American roads. I think you can now find them for about $100 and up.
  • I purchased a Garmin Dezl Cam last summer before a trip to Glacier Nat. park and really was impressed with it. Pricey yea, but had I had it a couple years ago it would have precluded litigation in a law suit. My old indash gps had crapped out and needed a new one anyway. Fabricated a mount at peak of the dash where it can be reached from my seat. Pro,s are size, magnetic mount (get it near the mount and it sucks it in) voice command, accelerometor saving footage in case of an accident and telling you what lane to be in. Con's, short battery life. Liked it so much when my old gps died for my car bought a Nuvicam for it. Just piece of mind IMHO. Hope this helps, any questions PM me.
