need as in absotively, posilutely, don't-leave-home-without-it? no. we traveled for years without any sort of GPS in the MH and managed quite well. is it a good idea? I think so especially those that are RV specific in terms of knowing the dimensions, weight and whether you have a toad or not.
our Rand McNally GPS is now part of the infotainment system in the MH and while I don't think it's as useful as our old Street Atlas I still use it on every trip. as you mentioned putting complete trust in a GPS...or a set of maps for that matter...is not wise. if I was buying a stand alone system I would want to make sure what if any cost is associated with updating the maps and database before I purchase.
