|
Time to read 3 min
The best RAM® mounts for caravans and campers are secure, adjustable mounting solutions designed to keep phones, tablets, GPS units and touring devices stable during travel. Touring setups often experience vibration, corrugations and long driving hours, so choosing the right mount matters.
For Australian caravans, 4WD touring vehicles and camper setups, RAM® Mounts provide flexible mounting solutions that can be adapted for dashboards, consoles, rails, workstations and living areas.
Why touring setups need better mounts
Touring and off-road travel can quickly expose weak mounting systems. Cheap mounts may loosen, fall off or create too much movement on rough roads.
A good touring mount should:
- hold devices securely on corrugations and rough roads
- allow easy viewing while driving
- support GPS navigation and touring apps
- work with larger phones and rugged cases
- reduce vibration where possible
- suit both vehicle and caravan interiors

- permanent drilling is not preferred
How to reduce vibration in touring setups
To reduce vibration:
- use the shortest practical arm

Common mistakes to avoid
