It's been mentioned a few times on here before, but the best option is probably to get yourself a TomTom sat nav and then download the caravan and camper maps to it.
Halfords are currently doing the TomTom Start 25 for £79 including lifetime map updates.
You can then download the Caravan and Camper maps direct from TomTom for approx £70

I have a TomTom Start 60 with nice big 6 inch screen to which I have added the Camper Maps. You will need a micro SD card as the base device does not have enough memory for both maps. It works reasonably well but personally I always check the route against a map. You can view the route in several ways one of which is the ability to view the destination in more detail which I find useful.

I had a Garmin 465T (until my car was stolen) great as you could switch between Car and Truck mode. You enter the diameters of the caravan and it does the rest. When I purchased my replacement Nav I wanted Lifetime Map and Traffic updates but I couldn't find one that did truck mode within my price range.
I was always a TomTom man but I cannot fault my new Garmin, had it for 3 years had 4 free map updates a year and not had to pay extra for the traffic re-routing which is useful especially with the amount of miles i do a year.

I have a similar model to the SueNav. Unfortunately it displays unwanted behaviour at times by reading out speedometer readings at regular intervals and asking if I'm going to fast.
Running costs for these self installing NavAids can be high as they usually demand red wine on arrival at destination.
