If you have a notebook computer another option is DeLorme's Street Atlas with their gps unit that plugs into a USB port on your notebook. I like it since it has a much bigger screen (depending on how big your computer screen is) and you can do trip planning in your home. The combo gps with software is probably cheaper than buying a dedicated unit. They run frequent sales too.
MS Streets and Trips had a better interface but MS pulled the plug on it.

I use my iPad Pro with 12" screen in the MDT towing our large 5er, and us my iPhone 6s Plus in our smart car.
If you don't have a tablet now I would say for the price of a new stand alone GPS you could purchase a tablet (android or Apple) and you will get a lot more uses out of a tablet. You only purchase the Co-Pilot app once and you can use it on multiple devices, and if you get a new phone or tablet you just load the app. Not like having to buy new GPS when it goes out our you want the latest greatest one.

We also use this app works great and you can set your hight and weight limits
Chiefneon, thanks for the link. It seems like great software. My question is whether it would work for me as a solo RVer. I'm having trouble visualizing what using a phone app would be like while driving. And even if I could map out a route in advance, it would be difficult for me to remember, as I have the recall ability of a gnat.
I want a larger GPS screen with a map, lane-change visuals and a system that calls audibles.
(I programmed my old Tom-Tom GOP with the voice of Captain Jean-Luc Picard from "Star Trek Next Generation." Once I turned left instead of right because I knew a better route. Jean-Luc's voice kept telling me to turn around. When I did not comply it shouted, "YOU HAVE ENTERED THE BETA QUADRANT. TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND!
Nearly ran my rig off the road.)
