Last year when I was looking for a new sat nav I was quite keen on the TomTom caravan/motorhome version but I could not really justify the difference in price and decided in the end to go for a Start 60 which has a large 6 inch screen. (Good to see from Blueexpo's link that the price seems to be coming down a bit.) One of the reasons for deciding against was that with any sat nav you still have to review the route and if I have to do that I may as well save £200.

I also have a start 60 and you can purchase the Europe camper maps for that model (and others) it cost me about £50 for the map download.  it has 4 modes, car, caravan, motorhome and van.

in the caravan mode in allows you to input the total length, width, height, weight etc, I have not used it towing yet but did a dummy run in demo mode and selected car, then caravan and it rerouted around a known narrow bridge,

look at it here

Thanks for the link. You were lucky to get it for £50, its nearly £80 now!!

The tomtom is what Im used to but with no free mapping with a unit in and around £320 is a little stingy in my view. I like the idea of the start 60 but no bluetooth hands free capability.

Garmin have just done a deal with the C&CC in that they have now included all their sites, cert sites, european site (20000 in total) etc and offer life time free map updates for £319.

Snooper caught my eye but the only model that gives updates free is the 2500pro but a 4" screen. The 5000 series is a better size but pay £60 for updates.
