Changing Vehicle Type on a Camper or RV Series Device
The vehicle type determines how your RV or Camper device will calculate routes.
To Change the Vehicle Type:
- Touch the vehicle type icon at the top of the main menu
- Touch the desired vehicle type
- Touch Save to save the change
Your device can choose from one of the following two vehicle types:
- Automobile/Car: for use in a regular passenger vehicle; road restrictions such as bridge heights will not be factored in when calculating routes
- Camper/RV: for use in a motorhome with a permanently attached Camper/RV
The Motorhome, Trailer, and Fifth Wheel calculation modes will attempt to route away from roads where your vehicle will not be allowed to travel, based on the dimensions and features entered into your vehicle profile. For steps to edit your vehicle profile, see Create or edit an RV profile for Camper/RV 760.
Flat Towing - A trailer profile may also be chosen when using a tow bar with vehicles suitable for flat towing, also known as four-down towing or dinghy towing. Some vehicles can develop transmission damage when flat towed, so it is important to check the owner’s manual to be certain a vehicle is stated to be suitable for this purpose by its manufacturer.
