Navigation system in the 2020 Vegas 27.7
We are looking into buying a 2020 Vegas 27.7 model motorhome.
What kind of navigation system does it have? Is for RV or just the standard system?

Welcome to the forum.
Not sure but I will say no GPS and if it did it is not an RV specific system.
The. model spec sheet will tell you if the radio includes GPS. If GPS is not listed it's not there.

Buy a good GPS. Phone mirroring on these radios has a lot to. be desired. If you elect to go the mirroring route your next post will be the radio is garbage.

Agree. Get a Garmin RV specific unit and mount it atop your dashboard. It’s better that way!

Another vote for RV specific portable GPS nav. They let you input height and length of your RV to avoid low underpasses and tight turn roads.
I don't know of any nav app that does that.

Thanks for the reply. Will be looking at a RV GPS. Have a regular garmin gps that I used with my Airstream but I see where a RV GPS would be better.

Sygic truck let's you do that. It's in the play store. I don't personally use it, just know it's there.

I use a Garmin RV770 which comes with lifetime map updates. And, like others have said you can input the exact dimensions of your RV which will keep you out of trouble. It will also warn you of steep inclines and more importantly, declines.
Great GPS.

I have a thor Vegas 27.7 2020 and it does come with a built-in gps. However, it is hard to see and from the drivers seat so we bought a Garmin RV GPS and love it.

With my old eyes I was having trouble quickly reading the info on the 7 inch screen. I ordered the 10 incher for our trip.
