I’d take a look at the Garmin RV 770. Nice big screen, plenty of features, and you can update it over WiFi... No computer required. I don’t trust Google maps as the last time I tried, it still didn’t find my house.
In that case I would not put too much trust in Garmins maps/database when it comes down to RV specific destinations, especially if your totally unfamiliar with the area you're visiting. They are one for three getting it right with us on 3 out of state trips. Instead of the campground listed it took us to a locked gate 7 miles away once, and another time to a bridge that was washed out 5 years prior during hurricane Irene that will never be rebuilt. Not a big deal other than both required backing the trailer up about a mile to turn around. Add to that the RV height and weight info works about 60% of the time. Get just a little off the Interstate or main highway and you get a lot of "RV accessibility unknown" messages. I trust Google maps way more than Garmins data. I still cant figure out why I paid a premium for an RV specific GPS that I need to cross check everything it tells me with other sources.
