Garmin RV Navigator is another great Garmin product
First of all I am not new to Garmin products so the reason I bought Garmin is that I have had pretty good success and service from Garmin on their products that I have purchased over the years. in 2012 we bought a Travel Trailer and I was about to take it on a long trip from Indiana to Florida and then probably over to Texas and I noticed that Garmin had a new RV Navigator out. What is nice about this RV 760LMT model is you can program in the size of your RV, in our case a travel trailer, and it will try and avoid areas where RV's of this size should not be or should not go. So far we have been successful with that feature as I have been in some pretty tight places in the past not having that feature and with a 34 foot travel trailer backing up is not fun. This model also allows you to switch back to automobile mode when I do not have the Travel Trailer connected which is a good feature. This model has a different connection than the other Garmin's I have and I am not sure if they are switching to this type of mount or if it is because of the size of this Navigator, it is HUGE is all I can say but traveling with a travel trailer that is a nice feature to have in place. The only thing I can say that is bad about it is the RV Parks in their directory is apparently not very complete. The RV Park we are currently staying at in Tampa Florida area is not in the directory. About half of the RV parks I was looking at staying at are NOT in the directory. I am not sure who they got the directory from but they need to upgrade this feature of it because people without a smart phone don't have the ability to put in addresses when their RV park is not listed in the directory. So my experience is it is a great Garmin to have with an RV, it's definitely pricey at this time of introduction which is typical though of Garmin's newer products and I suppose one of this size, the only real negative is the weak RV Park directory. They should allow a feature to allow users to add RV Parks that are not in the directory so the users of the product could probably have it more complete in a year of two of usage.
