Modern satnav

There's much to be said for a slimline MH. 

Having said that, I did manage to crack a skylight on an Eccles Topaz back in the eighties squeezing under an underpass leaving a campsite somewhere on the outskirts of Paris.

So not much confidence in the latest technology then.

Perhaps I'll just stick with the lorry settings on my Garmin.

Not so much lack of confidence in the latest technology but all satnavs can only work within the constraints of the mapping information and, in my view, there’s little to be gained from having the extras such as club apps loaded. However, a modern satnav with up to date mapping can operate more effectively than an early model.

We have the Garmin "camper"sat nav we got it from Aldi and it was less than half the price of the cc version but without the club sites loaded but then the web or handbook gives addresses for sites that can be entered

The marginal improvement in sat nav capability is probably not in itself a good reason to upgrade. However, you might appreciate what I earlier referred to the ‘bells & whistles’ which I find quite useful over budget models e.g.

Bluetooth connectivity for hands free mobile calls;

Option to upload POIs e.g campsite locations;

Voice control - makes instant/temporary changes easily on the move;

Live traffic information;

Wifi updates, particularly if you’re an IOS user;

App enabling you to plan then upload route information.

Your money, your choice.

Seems that the best system is to employ OH as a navigator ,complete with maps.

My aging TomTom Start 60 with camper van maps added has proved to be a very reliable sat nav both at home and abroad. No facility to put vehicle size just to set it to camper van. 

Currently have a built in TomTom sat nav in my new motorhome on a Peugeot cab. Fairly reliable but a tendency to take short cuts which I try and avoid. It soon gets back on course! I find it always best to review the route and set to avoid part of the route if I am unhappy. The one thing that annoys me is the inability to add extra POI's.

I think lifetime maps are useful as in theory you will be able to keep the SatNav for a very long time. Also, you need to be able to load Points Of Interest (POIs). There are free databases like Archies that will give you pan-European site coordinates which have proved to be extremely accurate due to the user feedback system. I am happy with my Garmin.

I thought that it might be possible to add POIs through Mydrive Davis. Never had the need

I've got a built in Satnav in my Peugeot cab based MH. POI's can be added but only singly. Consequently I input the destination Lat/Long as required.
