I have had the Garmin RV 760 for a couple of years. I like it a lot. Use it in my Jeep when not driving the motorhome.

Garmin Deezl 570LMT
Not purely rv-specific, but it is perfect for us - programmable for a 'bus' like our rig - and was less expensive (used) than many other rv-specific models.
Just an option ;-)

I purchased the Garmin RV 770 LMT-S last year as an upgrade from my previous Garmin. This GPS does a wonderful job for me. There are too many functions to list here but I would suggest you research this unit to see what it can do. I love the 7 inch screen to begin with. There are many apps on it to use including weather. Very nice GPS.

I also upgraded to the 770. Wanted the built in WI-FI to update the thing without the need for a computer.

Garmin RV760 LMT works well for us. I had a backup camera attached on my old truck which worked well also.

I am using the Garmin Dezl 770 trucker GPS, which is very similar to the RV 770, I bought mine cheap from a retired over the road truck driver on ebay last summer. My next one will probably be an RV model, though that will likely be several years down the road. Overall I think the 770 platform is great, but there is still room for improvement.

We use ALK CoPilot on a 10" tablet. Total cost less than a Garmin RV specific GPS unit, bigger display and a strong history with the trucking industry.

Is the backup camera wired OR wireless? And can you split the screen to show half with backup camera and other half with gps routing?
