You keep Waxe. I’ll stick with the proven Garmin RV.

Unless driver knows rig is well below 10’-8” high.

I know what you mean though, and shows through example how RV navigation is not a black and white issue. Garmin is indeed very nice but of most value to those who need or want the added information. There is grey area because needs can vary so much between RVers. If I drove a Super-C I’d want a Garmin too. For smaller rigs at other extreme Garmin added value can be much less.

I used a Garmin many years ago and wasn’t a fan back then. The new Garmin in my son’s motorhome is a million times better but seems overkill if it were in a Class B for example; at least for my needs. Google on iPad Mini or phone has met my needs good enough for years.

Many thanks Garmin.

Note, 1/2 mile in reverse to turn around.

Hey it works if you take all the wheels off and have your mother-in-law put on her draft collar and pull you through.

If it's the RV780LMT it's the updated version of my RV770LMT. A number of folks are using it without issues.

I have not had a problem with low clearances without a warring ever since I purchased low clearances data and installed it into my Garmin then my Rand McNally. It works with almost all navigation units.

Low Clearance POI - GPS Data

I edited the data base to remove clearances that were two inches above the height of my RV.

I bought the new Garmin 1090 RV unit. I programmed it for my new motor home plus it has a voice activation feature. I used that feature while driving near Phoenix Arizona where I needed to find a grocery store with a large parking lot. It did the job.
