Review on Trucker Tough Bracketron Tough Tablet Mount for Truck or Car: Ultimate Dashboard and Windshield Holder, Black (TT1-616-1) by Brad Schaefer

Works 'til it doesn't work

I managed to keep my 11 inch iPad Pro on the dash of my Winnebago RV for a few months. Now it doesn't suck/stick to the dashboard for more than a few minutes. I tried cleaning the dashboard surface with alcohol; Tried cleaning the mount but it won't stay in place. I reluctantly had to resort to Gorilla tape to secure it during my most recent ride. Yes, I could stick it on using an Amazing Household Goop product or similar, but I don't want it permanently installed or risk damaging my dash. You know, once I fix it permanently, one of the ball joint's plastic tightening knobs or something will break, and then I can't remove it from the dash to replace with another one or something. Tip. Do not leave it attached to the dashboard when not in use. Even though my RV's windshield blinds were down and out of direct sunlight, I suspect the main reason it didn't work for a few months was because leaving them on the dashboard for long periods of time. One of the plastic ball joint locking knobs or something will break and then I can't remove it from the dash to replace with another one or something. Tip.
