The stock layout for the console on my 2018 Newmar Baystar 3414 was not meant to be used by anyone who wishes to remain comfortable. A mighty shame given the overall quality of the coach. So, I did what I'm good at doing...I fixed it!The stock layout - Rearview camera at the top, GPS Radio below that and Climate controls dead bottom.stock layoutThe new layout. Rearview camera closer to the driver and GPS Radio and Climate controls much easier to see and reach.modified layoutHow's that?

Now you just need to turn the hole left where the climate controls used to be into a little nook for your sunglasses to fall out of and you'll have all the original features back!Looks like an improvement to me, for sure, all joking aside.

Okay, why can't I view the photos in the message? I can click and see them, but not on the message itself.

A place for my phone to keep out of reach and charge. Right now it just goes wherever I can find a place for it to not be in the way and away from spill central.

Look at Scosche MagicMount on Amazon. A lot to choose from. I got the CD one which slides into a cd player slot and works great.

Nice mod. I'm in the same camp. Dash layout is a really big deal especially since I spend 8 hours a day behind it when we travel a long distance.

The dash designers on RV's must be morons. My radio was so low you would have to stop and kneel down to change anything. Moved the rear view monitor to hang below cabinet above driver, moved the radio to that top position.
