I'll always know where the tunnels are and just have to watch out for low clearance - this is one of the reasons I love my small(er) sized RV and I love not towing anything. You'd have to pay me a lot of money before I would ever tow anything with a MH. Had a couple of TTs and would never do that again either. It's just too stressful for me at this point in my life. I want as easy as possible and the less technology the better. I sound like my mother now but it's all just too much - everywhere every minute of the day. I really just don't need it (other than my phone and laptop, of course).
Good for you.

I just use google maps which is free and I typically review the route beforehand on a computer so that I'm familiar with it to minimize surprises (even though there are always some).

Also keep in mind that towing a car behind an RV is a lot different from towing a trailer. For one thing the RV is much heavier than the car so the dynamics are a bit different. You hear the saying that "you forget its back there"--there is some truth in that it isn't nearly as stressfull towing a car behind a motorhome as it is a TT or 5th wheel (unless we're towing my wife's car and she keeps reminding me that its her car and if anything happens to it....)
