I-pass mount
I just received my I-pass transponder. The mounting instructions say to put the transponder 1 inch below the roof line near the mirror. I worry that the cabover will interfere with the signal. Where do you have yours mounted.

- As others have noted, all good locations. I have found that it also depends upon the respective toll booth readers. I can go through one with no issues and the next trip it goes red and rings the bell. There is never an issue with overhead readers whatsoever.
- Does your Class C have a front window in the cabover?
I have a neighbor that has his Fas-Trak transponder mounted there,he says that it works just fine. - Thanks everyone for the info. Sounds like mounting the transponder high or low on the windshield it will still work.
- I put the I-Pass on the passenger side of the mirror. It is mounted so that there is about two plus inches between the unit and the roof. They read it fine.
- Before we picked up a class C in Indiana this month I had called I-Pass & after a few tries got to a knowledgeable person. They said it could be placed per the instructions for a car, which we did, & had no trouble going through 10-12 tolls on the way home to WI.
- We went through the open lanes with our Class C at I80 EB into 294, and it registered. (I checked online). We had the unit down at the front of the dash/ base of the windshield.
At a booth on the Indiana Toll Road, I am not sure if it did not read, but we ended up handing it to the booth worker.
At the Illinois booth for I80WB coming off 294, we thought we better go to a booth to be safe, and again it did not seem to be read until we handed it to the worker.
So I dunno. - We have an EZ Pass but was told an RV with cabover needed a special transponder, otherwise it couldn't be detected. I ordered it and it attaches to the front license plate.
- I put my EZ pass transponder on the windshield behind the mirror and have never had a problem. It has been there now for 3 years.
- Bottom center of the windscreen on the motorhome. Works fine. Have used it in other vehicles where it,was in a console bin and it still worked ok. Be sure to register all the vehicles you plan on using it in on the iPass Web site.
- If you have issues 1. Make sure you call them immediately (or you may be charged with the maximum rate) 2. Call them for a license plate tag (or at least that's what E-Zpass does.
