NAVAGATION G P S
I use a combination of a Streetpilot III and a Garmin GPS III on my
motorcycles. The Garmin 2610 is also very popular with riders. All of them
are good
units for motorhome purposes, with the Streetpilot III having about a $300
value on eBay these days and the 2610 having perhaps a $500 value.

The 2610 has a touch screen and more memory. The early Streetpilots were
prone to having their displays become unreadable in bright sunlight, hence one
reason why I have kept a GPS III as a backup.

With the amount of space available in most Wanderlodges I would be tempted
to look into something with a large display, such as some of the marine units,
but to be honest I am not familiar with things in that range. I will say
that Garmin has excellent service (they will rebuilld or replace almost any
unit) so that's one major reason to stick with Garmin.

Finally, consider where you plan to travel. In the continental US you
shouldn't have any problem, but if you go to Mexico make sure that there is a
decent map database either installed or available. To my chagrin the routing
in
my Streetpilot III made the entire unit have spasms and render itself
somewhat useless when I was in the vicinity of Monterrey, NL. Go figure.
