One word of caution though. The GPS is geared towards truckers - not RVs specifically. This means that in rare occasions the GPS will try to route you around roads blocked for trucks. Great example is Zion NP - the Kenwood went nuts when we drove into ZION, beeping all the time because Trucks are not allowed to enter.

We still use a map in addition to the GPS. Better safe than sorry:-)
The kenwood looks like a great system. My coach has a double DIN spot where they used to store the Cassette tapes and while I still have a few boxes of them, I doubt I will be using that spot anymore
Also, while driving I don't think I want to try to answer my phone other than via a bluetooth connected earpiece or speaker/mic on the stereo.
