I have had a Garmin for several years. I had my last one disappear when I got it back from service. Replaced it with a Garmin 780.
Your trick to set up Truck stops is awesome! I have fiddled with it trying to get it to do that.
Now if I could get it to show only stops ahead of me as half of the places are where I have been.
Thank you for sharing. Love your channel and keep up the good work.

Daisy was priceless at the end on Chad's arm, then staring at you. She looked like she was more than ready to get in her home. Always enjoy your videos.

[RobertJory]

You guys work so well together. Chad seems to be more big picture and Tara seems to be more detailed. I like the way Chad starts to tell you how it works and then Tara adds details to the conversation.

I agree the Garmin voice was much more desirable to listen to, on a side note we would love to see a "A day in the life of Daisy" she is so darn adorable.

[cheryl]

Wow! You guys do a lot before your trip! You put in a lot of work. The roads, stops, fueling, safety etc. I had no idea. You got it together! I really like how you explain everything! I enjoyed this part too! I am no an Rv’er but I am learning a lot. It’s such a joy watching you guys & Daisy! Living through you! Things I will never ever get to see! Thanks!

From one veteran to another. Thank you for your service

Be glad you chose to go south to Knoxville then north. That 11E sucks. I drive truck and I never use it. It sucks if you have a heavy load.

I am a OTR Truck Driver. Bought the Garmin OTR 700. Designed for big trucks. I can enter Smaller vehicles too.

[robertlumby]

This was SO helpful. I have other Garmin products, and I have been looking at the 890, but functionality is always a gamble when buying tech. You saved me time [research] and money. Thank you.

When I saw the description of this video, my first thought was this is going to be a snore fest! However, as usual, you made it enjoyable. I believe you’re the only couple that can even make RV maintenance videos that are entertaining. Nice job and always enjoyable to see. Thank you

Excellent video!! .... we had the Rand McNally and switched to the Garmin RV GPS.... love it much better.... I think we have the 780.... not voice activated.... thank goodness after seeing your outtakes.... lol 😂
I see after watching this video I need to work with the RV TRIP WIZARD more! You showed me features I didn’t know it we travel just like you guys, except no fuel stops while going from point A to B.... we added a external fuel tank in the 4x4 dually truck bed and love it! We have a 40ft Montana 5th wheel and very happy to avoid the stress of stopping for fuel! We just make potty stops and check our rig/truck at each stop and lunch stop too.... no more than 350 miles per travel day! Thank you so much for making this video.... a lot of folks need to see how it is on a typical travel day!!! Love your videos... safe travels!!!😎

5* Video. Note to self don`t skip a step. Plan ahead (the day before) Map weather Rig and Me ....check.... This has been a very nice video, Thanks for taking me along I learned a lot. Great Pic Great Sound

[TomSpurlock]

Absolutely, great advice. Bathroom and Fridge access is essential with slides in. Keep that in mind when shopping for RV's. Touching each wheel when stopped is great advice too, confirming you don't have a wheel bearing going out, or a brakes drum is not working right.

Bought the Rand RV 7 based on your prior review. I did learn more watching this video on how to use the Rand. Nice job.

[joehoyle]

We bought The Garmin From Techno Rv. Our last trip was 7200 miles No Issues at all very easy to use .

[widdeler]

Thanks for sharing great content. I always keep 5 gallons of water in each black tank a pod and half a cup of dawn blue dish soap 5 years NO sensor issues. And 3 gallons of water in the kitchen grey tank and half a cup of dawn blue dish soap. SAFE TRAVELS

I always watch you guys videos. It inspired me and my wife to buy a 40ft destination trailer. I cant wait to retire one day and travel and see the world like you guys do one day. Looks like a lot of fun.

[richsusanjefferson]

Thanks for the advice. We have been waiting to upgrade our gps before next season.

[browniac]

Hey guys and thanks for this review!! We use RV Trip Wizard but want something to add redundancy and this looks exactly like what we need. As usual, you always provide top-notch relevant information along with a stinking cute pup! Stay safe and thanks again.

Regarding your pantry door: We have a grand design that had the same issue. If you remove the strike plate the door frame isn't nailed and you can place a shim or piece of wood behind the trim before reinstalling the strike plate. This will narrow the gap between the door and the strike plate. This should help keep the door latched more securely during travel.
