Currently we have a GPS that is ten years old that has been upgraded twice. The GPS still has not a clue .
Does anyone have a recommendation of a GPS to purchase that especially meet the needs of the Motor Home Owner.

About 6 months ago we purchased the new Rand McNally RVND 5510 thru an FMCA discount. We love it. You can input your rig weight and height and it will alert if you are nearing an overpass that is too low. It's not perfect but none of them are. I still double check the route against the Walmart Rand McNally Atlas (wouldn't be without one).
Rand McNally now has a larger screnned one called the RVND 7710.
We find the 5510's screen is plenty big enough since we always have a co-pilot watching the screen and it speaks the directions. FMCA might be still offering discounts if you are a member and check on their site. The discount was $50. I believe that Camping World now sells them.
The Rand McNally shows all the campgrounds, truck stops nearby your location among other things.
