We all talk about which gps is the best for RV wonder what unit most truckers use?

I am not sure that's relevant as you do not want to use a trucker GPS in your RV. It will route you around good roads that allow RV's but prohibit truckers.

The truckers I know won't use them.

The best unit for a trucker may not be the best unit for an RV'er. I had one of the supposed RV/Truck GPS's when they first came out. It was a real pain because it wouldn't allow you to plan a route that included any "Not for Truck" streets or roads. It would constantly try to route you on only Truck Routes. I ended up using it in Car mode.

I would certainly make sure that the GPS would be RV friendly, and not just for Truck use.

x2 Had a truck GPS and it took me out of my way to stay on trucker routes, my Garmin 660 RV GPS has worked great for years
