This GPS primarily to use when pulling my 5th wheel trailer. Will it keep me of of roads that have height restriction, or other big rv imits

yes it will. it has a setting for trucks. it has no traffic feature or free map updates, but has an mp3 player, photo viewer and other features that newer models do not have. i paid $750. for mine new. buy it.

I doubt it. Its very old and out of date. Garmin's updates ar a few yers old. You would be better suited to a cheap phone based map, or something NavFreeUSA

I used it on a 32ft class A with a 14th trailer. The trailer was 6ft behind the RV. And had no trouble at all.

In my opinion, yes. We have a regular GPS that I've used in my car but you can't program it for height and width/length and it doesn't understand that you can't go in tunnels carrying propane or on some small unpaved roads etc. This one also tells you where truck stops are and places to get RV parts and service.

I use it for an extra wide GPS. It swivels so I have a bottom support. Think it should work for you as the arms have foam and grab real well.

Works great on my trailer with torsion axles with 6 lug 15" wheels for my 27 foot boat. You just have to be real careful you don't drive off of it as there is not a very big cradle so it's easy to do. It will get jammed in between the wheels.

Designed for bumper pull trailers since camera is attached to license plate holder. But it could be wired to use on fifth wheel if you attach camera to inside of bed I guess

I have used this to move a 1300 pound trailer (Pace 6x12 enclosed Trailer) It worked pretty well and was easy to maneuver. Never leave the Trailer connected to this unit. If the trailer does move this unit can not withstand the force. We made that mistake. We like the product and its worth the money.

Personally, I modified this lever-action suction cup mount to hold my 7" Magellan GPS on the bottom left corner of my truck windshield so it's at about the 10 o'clock position in relation to the steering wheel. My RV Hauling truck was a RAM3500 1 ton Dually, & it never let go even on wash-board roads. I think that in a boat, unless you are running a flat-bottom boat over rough water, it should hold up a similar weight object. Just make sure that the smooth surface you are mounting to is squeaky clean & also it helps to moisten the cup portion of the mount first. Make sure the suction cup is flat against the smooth surface before locking it in place with the lever.

I, wont take mine on the highway. Wont even plate it. I am not a qualified mechanic/trailer builder. I just use mine on the ranch, hauling tools and whatnot. Maybe if you are confident in your building skills it would be ok. To me it seems a bit small to pull down the road behind a pick up or car. Wheels are too small for me, also i dont think it has enough weight to keep it stable. For the road, and for safety, if it were me, i'd get something bigger. Just one mans opinion.

I would suggest purchasing another brand. My 560LMT was not "Truck Friendly"... If I desired to become a Garmin 560LMT GPS expert I could have made it perform better. I'd rather buy a unit that requires me to put it in the cab, plug in the power, put in my waypoints and go... The 560LMT doesn't do that, but it will after A LOT OF twiddleing with it... JMO

To adequately answer your question more information is needed like size and load of trailer and what type of vehicle it is going on, so i can not provide a absolute yes or no but it should take away some sagging in theory. As for the one i put on it lifted my back end about 1.5-2 inches empty and then handle the load better.

I would not use it in the extended position while driving. The movement would be issue as that would not have the rubber feet on the arm for stability if I recall correctly. It is only truly locked and stable when it is on the stored position. I have two installed on my RV and both are locked when I am moving and extended only when needed and the RV is parked. Not sure if that helps, but I wouldn't use it in that design if it was me. It is a great mount, but the design is really for use like I have it set up.

I think so, it is designed for 5inch screens. It is not GPS brand specific.

There are at least two GPS that are specific to RVs and/or large trucks now: Garmin's 'Big Rig' Nuvi 5000 GPS and CoPilot Live 11. I don't know if they are good or not, but if you are still looking, it's a place to start.

I would not rely on this alone to keep the trailer from rolling. I put wheel block wedges at both wheels, then adjusted the hitch jack to put jack stands under the trailer back. This wheel chock was only to keep someone from towing the trailer away in the middle of the night.

I have only used it to air up my air bags in my 08 Tundra when I hook up my 5th wheel, I can only get them to 50 lbs then it shuts down, but the 50lbs is all I need, but I am disappointed it won't keep running after the 50lbs.Jim

yes, you put your rv size in and it keeps you out of areas you shouldn't go in. We found it very helpful last May while traveling, we came across some low bridges and the GPS warned us./
