Good Sam GPS
Looking to buy in a few days a GPS specifically for RV use. I'm leaning toward the Good Sam 7" RVND 7735-LM GPS. Love to hear opinions of this unit and any other options that might be in the $270-...

I have a Rand McNally 7730 with a 7 inch screen, which is the same as the Good Sam RM 7735 (just doesn't have the GS Logo). The length, height, and weight for the RV or RV plus tow or towed vehicle can be set. The GPS will then route you away from low tunnels and bridges. It can be set to avoid small roads and dirt roads. There are lots of other settings for warnings about going over the speed limit, approaching sharp curves, construction zones, etc.
I travel by myself; the cat is no good about reading maps and handling a smart phone or tablet, so I appreciate the step by step directions and visual showing which lane to get in for exits and interchanges. Also the motor home speedometer is hard to see it some lighting so I find myself using the GPS speed indicator – much easier to see.
I am very happy with this GPS and now that I am used to it, I find it easier to use than the Garmin in my car. There is a learning curve though, it takes a while.
