Yes, it's a space issue. The Ford Transit has the perfect spot to mount a tablet but it's a very tight spot. The lower dash, the air vent, the grab handle and the door create a pretty tight spot. Plus the 10" tablets tend to be pretty heavy so they bounce a lot more. I also don't want to cover that AC vent.
I am not a fan of Waze. Personal preference. I don't think the crowd sourcing of traffic results in very accurate traffic except in the largest major cities. I use an RV-specific navigation app that take the dimensions, size and existence of propane into account in the routing.
Curious why you need an RV specific GPS. If you're Rving in a Ford Transit based RV, they're pretty small and your route shouldn't be at all affected by road constraints. I've been Rving most of my life in everything from a Class A, to FW to our current sprinter based Class C. I know my height/weight etc. I have never been in any situation that would have made any difference with an RV specific GPS vs Waze (which I find far more accurate in in up to date info than most of the others). I pay close attention to road signs, bridge warnings etc. but it's really never been issue. I feel like you are developing solutions in search of a problem.
