Hi all, I am somewhat of a massive noob when it comes this sort of thing. I have ordered a Garmin BC40 camera and seeking advice on how to best fit it. I don't want it mounted on the number plate but further up nearer the roof (I bought the camper mount).
Should I screw it in place and if so what's the best practice doing this and what sort of screws should I use? Or is using some kind of waterproof adhesive a better idea? I'd like the option of taking it off and transferring it to a different van if I ever get one in the future.
If it's relevant, my van is a 2014 Autosleeper Broadway.

Many thanks!

Ok Garmin sat nav experts . . .
On my 780 I have a camera button on top right of screen.
No mention of it in manual and not present on pictures of screen in manual.
Anyone know what it's for please ?
I assume the options of BC 40 or maybe the dash cam, it'd be nice to know for sure though.

Have you got speed camera notifications on your satnav, if so the camera picture is for notifying of a camera location not warned about.

Ah ok, yes it does seem to have speed camera notifications.
I've also been pressing the camera button willy nilly so maybe a lot of false notifications around too :rofl:
Is that how it works ?
