One of the first things I wanted to figure out after buying our 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Custom was where I was going to mount the 10-inch monitor I use while towing our fifth wheel.

The monitor has become a pretty important part of my towing setup. I use it to watch the fifth-wheel hitch while hooking up, keep an eye on the trailer while traveling, and see what is going on behind us.

The problem was simple.

Where do you put a 10-inch monitor in a truck without making the dash look like you raided the electronics aisle at Walmart?

I wanted something solid enough that the monitor wasn’t bouncing all over the place while towing, but I also wanted to be able to remove it when we weren’t pulling the camper.

After watching way too many YouTube videos and doing quite a bit of research, I decided on the BulletPoint RubiGrid dash mounting system.

So far, I’m very happy with that decision.

The Truck and My Setup

For a little background, our truck is a 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Custom Z71 with the 6.6L Duramax diesel.

We bought it primarily for towing our 2025 Grand Design Reflection 295RL fifth wheel.

If you’ve been following the blog, you already know this truck replaced our 2024 Ram 2500 with the 6.4 HEMI.

The Chevy has the large storage cubby in the center of the dash, which is where the BulletPoint RubiGrid installs.

One thing I definitely recommend before ordering is checking your exact truck and dash configuration. Chevrolet uses different dash layouts depending on the year and trim level, so don’t just assume every Silverado uses the same mount.

Why I Chose the BulletPoint RubiGrid

My biggest requirement was stability.

A phone is one thing.

A 10-inch monitor hanging several inches above the dashboard is another.

The last thing I wanted was a mount that shook every time we hit a rough section of interstate or crossed a bridge joint.

I also didn’t want a permanent monitor sitting on the dash when we weren’t camping.

That’s what attracted me to the RubiGrid.

Instead of giving you one fixed mounting location, the RubiGrid creates a mounting platform across the dash area. You can position mounting balls where you need them and then attach different arms and device holders.

That means one system can handle my towing monitor, phone, and potentially other accessories later.

What I Ordered

My setup includes the RubiGrid base along with a phone mount and the mount for my 10-inch towing monitor.

I also ordered a longer arm for the monitor.

I’m glad I did.

With a larger monitor, the longer arm gives me more flexibility to position the screen exactly where I want it without blocking my view or putting it somewhere awkward.

There is still room on the RubiGrid for additional accessories if I decide to add something later.

And knowing me, that’s probably going to happen.

Apparently there is always one more gadget a truck needs.

Installing the RubiGrid in the Silverado 2500HD

Installation was pretty straightforward, but there is one thing Chevy Silverado 2500HD Custom owners should know before starting:

You’re going to drill holes in your truck.

Before somebody panics, we’re talking about six small holes inside the dash storage tray.

BulletPoint includes the correct drill bit, which I thought was a nice touch.

You remove the factory rubber liner from the storage tray and install the RubiGrid mounting plate in that area.

The good news is that the holes are underneath the factory rubber liner. If I ever remove the RubiGrid, I can reinstall the liner and the holes should be hidden.

So yes, technically I drilled holes in the dash of a truck I had just bought.

I tried not to think too much about that part.

One Tool That Made Installation Easier

There isn’t a tremendous amount of room between the dash tray and the windshield.

I used a 90-degree drill, and that made the job considerably easier.

Could you probably do it another way?

Sure.

Would I want to?

No.

If you’re installing one of these in a Silverado HD with the same dash, a small right-angle drill or right-angle drill attachment would be high on my list.

From start to finish, the installation took me about an hour.

Nothing about the installation was particularly difficult. Take your time, measure everything, and remember the old rule:

Measure twice.

Drill once.

Especially when what you’re drilling belongs to a 2025 truck.

How Solid Is It?

This is where the BulletPoint system really impressed me.

Once everything is tightened down, the RubiGrid is extremely sturdy.

My 10-inch monitor is considerably larger and heavier than a phone, and I was concerned that having it on an extended arm might cause it to bounce around.

So far, that hasn’t been a problem.

The whole setup feels much more like something that belongs in the truck than an aftermarket suction-cup mount stuck to the windshield.

That’s important to me because when we’re towing, I don’t want to be fooling with a monitor that keeps moving around.

I want to glance at it, get the information I need, and keep my attention where it belongs—the road.

Why I Like It for Fifth-Wheel Towing

For me, this isn’t really about having another gadget on the dashboard.

The monitor serves several useful purposes when we’re towing.

When I’m backing under the fifth wheel, I can use the camera view to help line up the hitch.

Once we’re traveling, I can use the system to keep an eye on the camper and what’s happening behind us.

It basically gives me another set of eyes.

Then, when the camping trip is over, I can remove the large monitor instead of leaving it permanently mounted in the truck.

That was one of my biggest requirements from the beginning.

The Modular Design May Be Its Best Feature

Another thing I really like about the RubiGrid is that I’m not locked into the setup I have today.

If I want another phone mount, camera, GPS, or some other accessory later, I don’t have to start over with an entirely different system.

I can add to what is already there.

Anyone who has owned an RV or tow vehicle knows exactly how dangerous that statement is.

“There is room for another accessory” usually means another box will eventually show up on the front porch.

What Does the BulletPoint RubiGrid Cost?

This is definitely not the cheapest way to mount a phone or monitor.

By the time I bought the RubiGrid base, phone mount, monitor/tablet mount, longer arm, and the other mounting hardware I needed, I had right around $200 invested in the complete setup.

You can absolutely find cheaper mounts.

But that really wasn’t what I was looking for.

I wanted something solid, clean looking, expandable, and capable of supporting a fairly large monitor while towing.

For what I wanted it to do, I think the money was well spent.

Pros and Cons

What I Like

Very solid mounting system.
Even with my 10-inch monitor, the setup feels sturdy.

Clean installation.
It looks much better than having several separate suction-cup or adhesive mounts scattered around the cab.

Expandable.
I can add or move accessories without replacing the entire system.

Monitor is easy to remove.
I don’t need a giant screen sitting on the dashboard when we’re not towing.

Good positioning options.
The longer arm lets me put the monitor where I can see it without having it directly in my line of sight.

Installation wasn’t difficult.
It took me approximately an hour.

What I Don’t Like

It isn’t cheap.
My complete setup was around $200.

You have to drill holes.
They are small and hidden underneath the factory tray liner if the system is removed, but you’re still drilling into your truck.

Clearance is a little tight during installation.
A right-angle drill made the job much easier.

Honestly, that’s about all I have for negatives so far.

Would I Buy the BulletPoint RubiGrid Again?

Yes.

For my particular setup, absolutely.

If all I needed was somewhere to put one cell phone, I probably wouldn’t spend $200 building a RubiGrid system.

That would be overkill.

But that’s not how I’m using it.

I wanted one solid mounting platform that could hold my phone and a 10-inch towing monitor, allow me to reposition things when necessary, and give me room to expand later.

The BulletPoint RubiGrid checks all of those boxes.

It looks good, it’s extremely sturdy, and the monitor isn’t bouncing around every time the truck hits a rough spot in the road.

Most importantly, it does exactly what I bought it to do.

Final Thoughts

There are a lot of cheaper ways to hang electronics from the dashboard of a truck.

I’ve probably owned several of them over the years.

But with a truck we bought specifically for fifth-wheel towing and a monitor that I depend on while hooking up and traveling, I wanted something better than a suction cup and crossed fingers.

The BulletPoint RubiGrid wasn’t the cheapest option.

But after installing it in our 2025 Silverado 2500HD Custom and using it with my 10-inch towing monitor, I think it was money well spent.

And since there is still some empty space on that RubiGrid…

I’m sure I’ll eventually find something else that absolutely needs to be mounted there.
