Bridge Height

[Thompsons]

We are new owners to a 2009 Coachmen Mirada. We were wondering what app you use for bridge height restrictions when you travel.

We use inRoute for planning. It is an app that you can enter your RV specs and it plans the route to avoid what is needed.

We also use a Garmin RV gps that has our coach specs for height, weight, etc.

I use Trip Wizard for planning and the Garmin RV gps for travel.

I have a Garmin in my in dash system in a 2021 coach. I had it programmed for bridge height and weight restrictions. It didn't even know the bridge was there??????

Welcome to RVforums. We use our Garmin RV785 which can be configured for your vehicle. We also use the same apps AbdRahim mentioned

Trip Wizard for planning and Copilot (not in love) for travel. Also use google maps for travel. While google is not RV aware, it is traffic aware and often has better routes. We double check using Copilot though.

We also have learned to just totally avoid NJ parkways and the GWB. Instead we go further West through Harrisburg PA and stop at the nice Cracker Barrel there.

Thanks so much.

One thing is don't believe the posted measurement especially in OK. The counties many times will go in and resurface the road and not update signage or report it. This actually raises the road making your clearance lower.

All of our planning is on a desktop computer, we use AllStays, Google Maps, Google Earth and Camp Ground Reviews, mostly. Best source of travel information we have found is AllStays.
Once we have everything pretty much in-order I get my Garmin 1090 plug it in, connect it to WIFI then update it. (Seems every time I turn it on there is an update.) Then put the route in. Conflicts between the Garmin and the computer, if any, are solved then.
I prefer to build trips based on a single day of travel, so usually if I have a 4 day travel I prefer 4 different trips.

My class A is 12' 7". I enter 13' 0" in my GPS.
