I am ready to replace my Alpine navigator in my motor home. I am very impressed with the Garmin 1490LMT with lifetime free updates on traffic and maps. I like the 5 inch screen. In fact, I don't know another Garmin with a wide screen that would be better. Anyone see any problems with this idea?

I'm going to change from my regular automotive oriented GPS's to something better suited for OTR truck drivers. All too often this thing routes me over 5 ton bridge crossings and under bridges with less than 12'6" clearance. Not fun with our RV which is 26,000lbs and 13' high. There is nowhere in my TomTom's menus to change the type of vehicle you are.
