I tried to mount the suction cup mount to the RV760 on a 5"x 8" piece of Plexiglas attached to my dash. I didn't make it to the highway before the weight of RV760 pulled loose. Garmin tells me it is larger than the NUVI suction cup. Because I drive on 4x4 trails a lot I don't think it will work, actually I wedged my old NUVI to the dash it worked, but I want the unit closer than the edge of the dash. I like the ProClip for my iPhone, but its attachment limits the location left-right on the dash. I don't think beanbag mounts will work either, and will be to far from the driver. I have RAM mounts for my boats and old truck but you have to drill base mounts to be sturdy. Right now I'm leaning toward the KUDA mount or a similar homemade aluminum bar running from the vent to the front of the dash with a vertical plate and an online purchase of an RV760 adapter mount.
On the BC20, if Garmin put another disconnect plug near the antenna it would be better. Also, all RV instillations would need weather proof connectors to fit through a 3/8" hole. My test of the AC location worked OK (18' closer to the Cab), but with the 50' long cable, my forward solar panel location is about 20' from the RV760. Still not line of sight.
