This is the Dezl 7" model, you can choose auto, truck, or RV.  I had it set on our coach's profile - 40' long, 8' wide, 12' high (don't recall if it also has a weight parameter or not) - and had chosen RV as the mode.
Isnt't your cos h 102" wide? Wouldn't that make a difference in the routing?

I have had the Dezl 760 for 2 years and about 30,000 miles. As others have said, it's not perfect but it does do a lot right.

You choose whether you want the shortest or fastest route. I usually check both to see where it will take me.

One of the features I use a lot is Voice Commands. It's nice to be able to ask it where the next rest area or truck stops are. Beats pushing menu buttons.

It's not a Google maps or Street and Trips display. It is a GPS display that does a good job of telling you what lane to be in and as Michelle pointed out the automatic split screen that shows which lanes to be in is great.

I have an iPad on the dash for Google maps to show me the blue dot so I can follow my progress, especially when driving through a big city.

Personally, I wouldn't be without a dedicated GPS.

I've tried a couple of times now routing us from our home to the Fairground address (800 All America City Blvd) and our Dezl760 set to RV with a 40' long, 8' wide, 12' tall vehicle fails after about 12% and says "Cannot calculate route".

What do you set wieght to ?
