the gps from your car will work using bean bag. only problem we had was in ND car gps does not route you around tunnels that are to low for rv height or bridges with weight limits. best to ck Campers World for truck gps. GOOD LUCK ALL ABOUT HAVING FUNN

I have to update this with info from my newer A Class unit. The Magellan windshield units we own now pick up signals all through the deep mountain valleys we normally traverse. There is no where near as much metal overhead so the signals do not get absorbed by the RV. I will still use the magnet mount in the C Class when we use it.

GPS
My wife and I have an old Tom Tom and havent tried it in the RV yet. Next year when we put the Rv on the road were going to invest in one of them from Rand Mcnally. If theres anyone in the country that knows all the highways and byways from east to west coat and everything in between its them. Also alot of the units are not set up to put in specific data about the Rv your in such as height, weight, length. Its to bad Onstar doesnt make a unit for Rvers.

I used some Velcro on the back of my TomTom GPS and
mounted it below the center dash vent on my E450 based Maverick.
Just made a trip from Ga. to La. without loosing the signal even in the rain.

If your GPS will change from auto to truck it should work with bean bag . We had one that did not change got in trouble with bridges and tunnels. Have fun not problems, jim

Any rv that you have should use a gps with truck specs. You can very well be over weight on some roads , and also too high. Also you can set it to go with hazmat, since you have propane. I think mine is a Garmine 465 or something like that. Have mine set up for 15000 lbs, and 12ft. 6" high and hazmat. works great

Another thought, make sure you keep the maps and operating system updated.
The TomTom I have is not fancy. They did an update to all their line to improve signal retention. Now I have not lost it in any rain or in the underpasses around Atlanta.
I like to plug it into my my computer and the home program checks for updates and I let the down load before I use it anywhere. Works fine.

I was reading about the EZ pass situation, And yes I guess there would be a problem with the hang over with a Class C. So then why not mount the EZ pass up in the bunk window area wouldnt that work?

In reference to what I wrote above.
That is a Class C.
The overhang does not interfere with my signal at all.
I do not known about the EZ pass system or why it would interfere.
My thinking was EZ passs was for commercial vehicles of course you do have a EZ pass for toll roads in some areas I guess.
