Garmin 890 here also. Lifetime updates and they are frequent so I update before each long trip. I like that it takes height and length into account. And I like that it is easy to modify your route on the device by pointing to the alternate road you want; especially handy if you don't always want to take the fastest or shortest route as we like to take backroads. I use RV Trip Wizard to plan the route then duplicate it on the Garmin. Works for us, but you'll have to find what works best for you. An RV GPS certainly is not needed but once you get used to one it will be hard to give up. I also like that it's just always there and on, and our phones are free for other things.

Garmin 890 while driving but RV Tripwizard for planning. My wife runs the trip wizard in background on travel days just as a back up but I don’t like seeing that low bridge sign that is less than my height 13-6. Not that common but we have experienced that before we ran with The 890. Considering what we pay for everything else the cost of a reliable GOS seems pretty negligible.

As is the 795 - at $609.99Cdn. https://www.gpscity.ca/garmin-rv-795...rv-and-camping
My truck has Android Auto (and Apple CarPlay) which I use after I have parked the trailer. With a downloaded map of the area, a mobile/cell connection isn't needed. And my RV 890 takes a fair amount of precious windshield view. But the limitations of Android Auto spurred me to buy a dedicated RV GPS for towing. And I work pretty well in Basecamp due to previous experience planning motorcycle trips for a dedicated m/c GPS.2021 Imagine XLS 22RBE

I have an rv GPS. It is literally the worst thing I have purchased for the rv. It’s the garmin rv 780. It is always wrong and has never helped me in any capacity. Just use your phone and if you can save the maps to your phone so if you lose data it will still work.
