Hi. Has any member any experiences/choice of "caravan" sat nav's. There's many about typically listed as for caravan but there description covers truck & bus etc. with the option of input of vehicle & unit length, width etc. Other more well known & more expensive brands show car & caravan as option, some of which include all campsite locations whereas the "cheaper" sat nav's do not. This is in hope of making it easier for me whilst driving as my navigator is finding it harder to map read etc whilst driving. I'll continue to look up intended routes on maps etc & not rely on sat nav's for the final approach to any site/destination.

thanks in advance

I have tried a quick test. Co-pilot GPS versus Viamichelin. The route was short, Alnwick to Amble (9.9 miles) and one I do regularly. Co-pilot , set to my van details offered one route, in my opinion the only suitable caravan route, and Viamichelin, set to “caravan” offered two routes, one of which would be a little difficult towing. Co-pilot adds 10% in terms of time, when towing which I think is nearer the mark. I quite like Co-pilot and will use it over the next two days on my trip to Calais. I’ll let you know how that goes.

We also use copilote. You can choose the type of roads you want to privilege while you're driving - for example you can tell it to prefer motorways and to avoid county roads.... none of them are perfect but it's not bad. Here, it costs about 30E per year.

Garmin Dezl Truck SatNav. 770 I think. Nice big screen.

I also have the Garmin Overlander to use with the 4x4 & Eriba.

I have a Snooper Ventura SatNav
Gives the.option of with or without caravan and you can imput details of your outfit so it knows which roads it can take you.when towing
CMC CCC and ACSI come already installed. Speed cameras for UK, free european map updates and shows speed limits and GPS speed
Well pleased this is my second

I use the Avtex sat nav by Garmin, marketed by the Caravan and Motorhome Club designed specifically for caravan users.

I had one issue with it navigating a plain screen last year. This turned out to be the micro memory card I had bought which holds the map graphics and had corrupted. This had nothing to do with the Sat Nav, and once the card was replaced it has worked perfectly since.
