I think that needing an RV or truck specific GPS depends on a lot of things. West of the rockies there are really not all that many low clearance bridges and underpasses.

I like GPS units for a variety of reasons and almost always have one on when we're traveling; even by car. Partly to keep me in the right lane at the right time in traffic. But I often check my arrival time, look at elevation, check my "readl" speed, etc.
Of course, you need to use every appropriate guide and not just a GPS. But everyone knows that by now, right? :P
