Does your TomTom have an RV setting? If not, you should always check against another source.
Since reading your post, I asked my Dezl 560, which does have an RV setting, to give me a route from 222 Water St., Binghampton, NY to the Saugerties/Woodstock KOA. It's route is NY 17 to NY 52 to US 209 to I-87 to NY 212
That's 8 miles further than if I forced it to take I-88 to NY 23, etc. For this route, it chose to stay with NY 23 A to NY 32 A to NY 32 to NY 212, and did not cut straight down to the KOA, making the route a couple of miles longer.
BTW, it shows the travel time for the NY 17 route to be 2 hours 36 minutes and for the I-88 route to be 2 hours 37 minutes.
It is my experience that the Dezl 569 does give better RV routing than does any GPS I've use that didn't have RV routing.
