Finally finished my interior modifications in preparation for the RV purchase and adventures.

UGADawg96,

Did you have to trim the fusetap to fit?

UGADawg96,

Negative, the one I got fit without issue.

Here is a revised pic of the dash after this past weekend's CAT scale run with new Andersen WDH hitch. This view is with the camera well below driver vision in order to get all four screens tight in the pic. None of the three items block the view of the hood meeting the road from the driver's view.

The 02 fuse location is a 10 amp fuse. When you fuse tap this, what fuse tap location did you put the original tap in?

Did you add another fuse for the tapped line or are you just using this for the pigtail to provide power to the new stuff?

I used a 10A for both the add a fuse and for the existing. There are two fuses in the add a fuse. At least that's what I recall. I'd have to pull it to verify there are two installed.

I looked at your photos and it appears you have 3A fuses in the block going out to the usb 12v to 5v converter. The converter is 3A per port but if both are used it could be 6A. Just trying to understand and learn. Thank you for the help.

3A is the max input current (currently due to fuse) at 12v for the converter. My two USB devices (TPMS & GPS) don't pull more than 3A combined. I have not tested trying to charge two phones or other devices to see if they pull more than 3A combined.

Great setup! Can 100% stand by Builtright Pro dash mount over their regular one since their Pro line gives great support! I would recommend you using split wire loom on those wires and clean them up. Looks 100x better, you can see it in the pic below at the back.

Have my work radio mounted up there in my work 21 XLT instead of my 22 Lariat. Here’s a quick pic from last year.

First real road trip with the new set up. Worked really well.

I know, old thread but...

Couple things.

First, I have to complement you on the write-up. Great work! Very detailed, and with all the pics and links, it takes a lot of effort. Thank you!

I came across this thread through your review on the Builtright site. I had been researching these dash mounts and found I like the Builtright design best. I noticed you used the Bulletpoint 20mm balls. I felt I liked the Bulletpoint hardware better. But, I also noticed you use the 67 Designs Pro Series arms. What was the reason for going with 67 Designs over the Bulletpoint arms? Are they a better product?

Can't recall why at this point, just they appealed to me more when shopping. Maybe it was the look or the reviews, honestly don't recall, but I've been happy with the setup and have yet to have any regrets or desires to make changes.

Doing a little more research, it seems 67 Designs equipment is made in the USA. So, that's a plus!
