Dash mounted aftermarket GPS
Does anyone have a dash mounted aftermarket GPS in their Class C? I am wondering if there are reception problems if you have a significant overhang due to the bed over cab.

We use a Garmin Nuvi navigator with free lifetime map updates. Several after-market ways for dash use of the Garmin Nuvi navigation units are availabe from Internet sources ... such as non-slip bases, suction cups, air vent clips, etc..
We like this approach because we can then use this same Garmin navigator in the motorhome, the pickup, or our sedan. Cellular service is not required for the Garmin because it's map database is stored internally, while your vehicle location is determined from satellites. It's been an outstanding navigation unit for our RV, including off-pavement use in the desert where there often is no cellular service. We supplement the Garmin with large format state-by-state Benchmark map atlases, which are ultra detailed because each atlas covers only one state.
