Mount the RVcam 795 on your dashboard! Relocate ball mount! This shield provides some protection from overheating and impacts on the camera, but it’s biggest benefit is the ball mount’s relocation. Screw the bolt in for extra durability.
Options:
Heat Shield only: 45 degree Heat Shield (that reuses the RVCam 795’s suction cup, pair it with a beanbag you have)
Heat Shield only: 90 Heat Shield (For legacy, Garmin 4-leaf clover style bean bags if you have the old stuff laying around)
Minimum Bean Bag Kit: 45 Heat Shield w/ bean bag (reuses your RVCam 795’s ball mount and suction cup)
Complete Beanbag preassembled kit: 45 Heat Shield w/ RVCAM 795 Ball mount preassembled w/ bean bag)
P.S. If you’re using a Bulletpoint Mount, great! You can use either the 45 degree or the 90 degree heat shield. The 45 degree lifts up the RVCAM 795, and the 90 degree keeps the Garmin lower to the dash. Don’t forget to purchase a 20mm to 17mm ball conversion to dial in your setup.
Garmin navigation devices, just like any tablet or fish finder can overheat in direct sunlight. When they're mounted in a windshield, these navigators run a-ok when the AC is blowing. What happens when the device is on and the truck is turned off? No AC? Hot day in while camping? Through the windshield, the sunlight bakes these electronics like an oven. The white heat shields give the unit some shade, about a 8-15 F (4-8C) cooler when the windshield is in direct sunlight. We haven’t tested the gray or black ones, but customers have requested differing colors.
When the units overheat, they’ll turn off. Sometimes, they even master reset in the process. A master reset can removes all saved data on your device.
What is the heat shield made out of? ASA.
Warranty? Limited lifetime warranty. It is limited to the heat shield only. The heat shield is a consumable. It is your ultimate responsibility and liability to protect and use your device in a manner which meets local laws, safety and trail etiquette. If you break or damage your heat shield, we will send one replacement at no additional cost.
