I have been basing my conclusions on Bill's reply to my question which is there is NO RV routing on any GPS only car routing and Truck routing.

The basic point about routing may or may not be true, I have no idea. But your conclusion that an "RV specific GPS would keep you off of direct routes" is wrong in my experience. That was the point I was trying to make.

You can certainly save some money. A comparable unit to the RV 760LMT would be the nüvi® 2797LMT. $399.99 vs $269.99. You could save more with less features, smaller screen, no traffic etc. You can add POIs that alert you to obstructions but you also have to keep those up to date.

So it is certainly possible to come up with something similar for less, for me the RV package was worth it. YMMV.

rware I have no idea how they work either that is why I asked the question. Maybe to get a better understanding of how they work a follow up question would be do these RV specifc GPS's use the car routing mode along with low bridge POI's to rout? If that is the case then it makes sense, and the routing would be more direct than if they use the the truck routing.
