Once you put the info in for your 5th wheel can it be used in just the truck alone or will it always make the best route for the 5th wheel?

I have found that it does not pay any attention to the info you put in. My roadmate tries to put me on a parkway (cars only Low bridges). I do not trust the unit and always check the route it gives. My advice would be to change the info when you are using it for the truck. My wife bought the GPS even after I told her about bad reviews.

We were very unhappy nwith many of the functions and usability and returned our unit quite soon after we purchased.

You can put it into automobile mode and it then will display posted speed limit. Alarm sounds when 10 mph over, I think you can adjust for different amounts over. Pictures on box show speeds, this is not accurate only displays speeds by touching display.

Yes. Once you have the info about the 5th just use the GPS in the truck as usual.

Yes it can. Just UN check the information for the 5th wheel, and you will get a car route. Please note, in my experience with the RV routing it does not work properly. So be careful. I complained to Magellan, and they don't seem to care.

If your 5th wheel has a hitch with the correct size. See description for supported sizes.

Yes, that's why I bought it. The only shortcoming I have found is that it may try and direct you down roads that are not rated for the weight of the truck. They warn of this in the owners manual. Otherwise the performance of the unit has been excellent! I drive a 80,000 GVW eighteen wheeler.

Not unless you changed your 5th wheel out to a gooseneck hitch. You will need one specifically designed for a 5th wheel.

If you are trying to put a trailer plug in the back of your truck for a fifth wheel. This works great in my 2006 f 250. Just plug it in to the stock wiring.

Currently I use the mat when not camping during winter months with my Dodge 3500. I did not want a cut a hole in it. I remove the mat when using my fifth wheel. I did have a Dodge 2500 where I cut the mat out for the fifth wheel rails. Never had a problem with the mat flying loose. I also removed this fifth wheel hitch during the winter months.

It will fit in the back of a pickup truck my husband hauls it in his ram short bed with the tail gate up it but does hang over. One man can lift it but it is awkward to move alone. If you are sliding it off the truck into a lake or pond and sliding it back on a truck it can be done alone.

He needs to set up a truck profile with weight, length, height, hazmat, etc. But we do NOT use this as our only route planner. It is only one of three we consistantly used to get to a cust.

I do not trust it in truck route mode at all as I have tried it several times on roads that I know are truck routes and it completely shuts down on me. So I only use it as a guide and I leave it in car mode. Sorry you really need to complain to Garmin as I will when i get the time.

I bought mine to use in a 40 foot 5th wheel. I charge it before we leave home and when we pack it up I clean. It does a great job on the entire coach with no issues.

You have to have the B&W receiving goose neck hitch installed in your truck ...if you have that gooseneck hitch then this would be all you need to tow a fifth wheel.. We love ours!

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

You will need a separate gps to direct you. It has no screen or voice guidance. Periodically pull unit and hook up to computer. It will upload data to webpage that gives mileage driven and where. I just use it to keep hours and to verify work for a sweeper truck each night.

It would depend on where the 5th wheel hitch sits. If it is too far forward, there may not be enough room for it. Be sure to measure the space available in the bed of the truck in front of the hitch before you purchase this box.

It depends upon what is included in your fifth wheel hitch prep package. If it has a puck system in the bed, you will need a reese puck adapter for the hitch. If the package includes rails, I would measure the distance between the rails forward and sideways. The hitch should mount slightly ahead of the axle, only inches. I use this hitch with a Dodge 3500 with the puck system and it works great, and is easy to mount. The most important thing is the spacing forward and rear and side to side. This hitch mounts to a standard fifth wheel distance.

I bought this in the Fall for our 5th wheel. It worked great. The bumper hitch on our Sundance handled it fine, though I would place the heavier bikes closer to the rig and the smaller ones on the outside.
