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.

@butchandernacht9961 3 года назад

That Daisy is cuteness overload.

@jamescartica2080 3 года назад

From one veteran to another. Thank you for your service

Back at ya! 🇺🇸

@KOHanlon 3 года назад

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.

@jodixon4841 3 года назад

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.

@myleshansel7950 3 года назад

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.

@beckydayedgar1764 2 года назад

I love it. I love that. We are trust to you and Tara and rust and Tammy already...... We need it...

@cheryl2455 3 года назад

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!

@brentfrench752 3 года назад

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

@robertlumby 3 года назад

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.

@johnberry8117 2 года назад

I agree with you the Garmin is better then the Rand McNally! Thanks for the comparison, you guys Rock!

@utahiker 11 месяцев назад

Thank you. Great video. I learned a lot about my Garmin RV 890.

@Lying992 3 года назад

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.

@secondwind75 3 года назад

Very cool going along on a travel day with y’all. Always seems to be more to do than you expect. Planning for those overpasses is definitely a smart one. I can imagine the pucker factor going under one of those puppies unsure of the numbers. And Tara, you continue to give me hope, kiddo. Knowing that just providing the woman in your life with sewerage will please her to no end. I can’t wait to find that special someone who appreciates an empty black tank. You gave me chills, sweet lady. Bless you. 😬 If only, huh? Lol. You’re a trip and you don’t even know it! Thanks for all the fun, guys. Troy

@wanda8027able 3 года назад

I needed this video SOOOOO bad. Thank you soooo much 😍😍 I thought I was the only one who didn’t like trip wizard GPS. You learn new cuss words with that thing. 😂😂😂

@ChangingLanes 3 года назад

Glad it was helpful! 😀

@earlhunt2815 3 года назад

Ditto your comment. I fussed and fussed trying to get the routes right and finally just gave up and quit using the thing.

@richsusanjefferson3826 3 года назад

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

@BikesBoatsBivouacs 3 года назад

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.

@browniac 3 года назад

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.

@buzzowen7193 2 года назад

Great video. I haven’t hit the road yet, but getting ready. Your videos are so informative.

@karensullivan5438 3 года назад

Great info. Adorable pup

@TomSpurlock 3 года назад

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.

@kennethc8182 2 года назад

I carry temp gun. Check bearings.

@theHammr88 3 года назад

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

@keithrigby8114 Год назад

Thank you for all the informative videos. After watching this video I started pricing the units out to find that Rand Mcnally no longer makes or supports the RV GPS. So I guess it will be the Garmin! Keep up the good work. Always enjoy watching your videos.

@mickrathermel9482 3 года назад

Enjoyed watching the GPS comparison and tuning the route to your liking! I remember back in the 60s and 70s vacationing the USA with my parents and they often were lost or took the wrong turn. Keep making great videos!

@ericbenjamin6504 3 года назад

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.

@scottfranson4215 3 года назад

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

@sprayhawk808 3 года назад

You guys are an amazing team. The systems you have in place make this lifestyle look so straightforward, but I know that you have put alot of time and effort into tuning them to meet your needs. I have lots to emulate as my wife and I spend more and more time on the road.

@Stretch1931 2 года назад

Thank you! Great example of the different technologies, features, and ease of use for both of these major players. I have to admit, the larger fonts and ease of use on the slightly larger buttons makes such an improvement when trying to touch the screen on the road.

@widdeler1 3 года назад

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

Fantastic job comparing the two GPS’s. This is a huge help for all RVer’s. Thank you so much for walking us through the planning and drive day

@animalman9647 2 года назад

I have to say you are very talented. Go Navy I'm a Navy vet also. The job you did on your solar panel system was impressive to say the least.

I have been procrastinating buying the Rand McNally. You made several good points for the German instead of the Rand McNally. Thanks for the comparison and information.

@wanderingroutes 3 года назад

We just ordered the *Garmin 890* . Your video was great in helping us make a decision. Thanks for the great video. Garmin Garmin -Cancel Cancel.- 😀😀😀

@ChangingLanes 3 года назад

Thanks for using our links! 😊

@toolingalong13 3 года назад

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.

@machfive916 3 года назад

Excellent comparison. When it's time for our 1st TT purchase (hopefully 90-100 days), it'll be the Garmin for us. Love the tips you gave during your rest stops and lunch break.

@mtnsarecalling2344 3 года назад

Always a great video. Also we put a lock on the pantry door just like the one on the closet in the bedroom. Works awesome no more open pantry.

@2cqql1 3 года назад

I have had Garmins since the 1990s, start with model 100 to now truck Garmin. They are the easiest units to use. They also only company that provides units for many applications like aviation, boating and land travel.

@rhinoD 2 года назад

Thanks guys, I just purchased the Garmin 890 because of your review. I always thought we were fine with cell phones. Taking our first trip in June to Montana. Love your channel

@bobmakow55 3 года назад

Whispering Hills, nice campground. We stayed there when we visited the Ark.

@onehappyohana2857 3 года назад

@Hawk89gt 3 года назад

Game changer, THANKS!

@patmcdaniel9612 3 года назад

Another informative and humorous video, thanks. Oh and put closing the slide on your lunch break check list.....lol

@tomforeman4976 3 года назад

Get you a hand held instant read temp gun. Read each hub on your stops but also check diff on truck and truck hubs. Some times it's handy to check wife also. I use on grankids when fussy also.

@jbbloom2710 3 года назад

Great video guys... Love how you compared them side-by-side and broke it down in layman‘s terms. Guess what I just ordered on Amazon. Lol thank you and safe travels

@duanebuck193 3 года назад

I have an older Garmin RV GPS, and I'm spoiled to the features that the Garmin units offer (and you can turn the Voice Command function off if so desired). If we were going to travel as you guys do, I'd give serious consideration to upgrading, but mine still does exactly what I want and need it to do - and I'm glad that Garmin is staying up on them.

@earlhunt2815 3 года назад

Yes, yes to your Best advice: make sure you can access your microwave, water, bed, and toilet facilities with all slides in! We love our Winnebago Navion 24J (corner bed) since everything is acceptable with slide in. We hit the generator whenever we start too. The Rand McNally is installed as part of ourdash large-screen information/ entertainment center. I agree the Rand McNally is not as intuitive. But if you persist in learning it, soon becomes second nature. We don't use all the features either since we routinely use as you all do. Very much enjoy your RU-vid channel.

@LyfovRyan51 3 года назад

Nice set-up with your van and tow vehicle. I live in my caravan full time in New Zealand. I hope to invest in a Garmin gps for use in the truck I drive. Safe travels.

@carlaskillings4312 3 года назад

Great video guy’s, you’re so organized, enjoyed it very much. Wayne from Windsor Ontario, Canada

@marlenecarty6609 3 года назад

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 had..... 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!!!😎

@pilot3016 3 года назад

Thanks for this review. Excellent.

@sherriweber7105 3 года назад

Loved this video on GOs’s. My sister was just here with her husband and they drove in from Tennessee. He had problems with his GPS setting it up. But finally got it. I like the Germain or Garmain. I would get that one. Thank you you again for doing this video. Stay safe.

@johnbloxham9028 3 года назад

I have the Garmin RV 780. Had the Garmin RV 770 previously but it got stolen so now the 780.

@russellschafer6493 3 года назад

Just a reminder, what ever brand you pick, always back up your gps with a secondary gps. Our Garmin took up through the bowels of Redding CA at night and it wasn't fun.

@growingrootless7829 3 года назад

Looking forward to another gem!

@kathynavin8642 3 года назад

Great review! It’s great to see these both from from beginning to end. Love your channel

@ronnie6508 3 года назад

Sorry guys but when Daisy is on camera she takes center stage. lol Informative and awesome video as usual. Take care out there!

@lisamyers8407 3 года назад

Right! When the camera has Daisy in sight ALL I hear is Charlie Browns teacher talking... Daisy is such a pretty and happy lil girl. Great job y’all and BTW, I know y’all are long gone, but hope y’all enjoyed your stay here in the Bluegrass State. We’ve been going to Whispering Hill RV Park since it was first opened. The folks that own and run it are absolutely wonderful. Safe travels y’all!

I am following you from Morocco ❤️ And I admire you and your wife. Long live you, hero

@reneriverac 2 года назад

Excellent video guys!! I'm a trucker and have a Garmin OTR 1000 but sometimes tells me to get out of the interstate and into roads difficult for semi trucks, other times tells me to get into express lanes which are illegal for a big truck, was looking for a comparison video between Garming and Rand McNally and in your great video I see that Rand McNally also has similar routing issues. Conclusion no GPS is perfect and we have to use common sense to drive safe on the road. After this video I subscribed to your channel. BIG thank you!!

@timothypinto9518 3 года назад

I just added your Truck Stop Work around. That's a great tip. FWIW the 785 only shows 3 things (not 4) .

@n1njazx7 3 года назад

We had a set up like yours up until this year. We switched to a 40' DB and now travel days are o much nicer. We have full access to everything while traveling even with the sides in. Be safe and keep up the great videos.

The Best Info In The RV World By Far...

@omaruth 2 года назад

I love watching you u r informative and I was watching the other Rv''ers and one of them I watched was talking about the Garmin. But u showed us your travel vlog comparing both GPS.and after watching you get to your destination, I myself would prefer you Garmin. Thanks always for giving so many good tips. Stay safe always💕❤

@Bradamsmx5 3 года назад

Great video. We always look at whether we can access the restrooms and refrigerator with the slides in. A little off topic now, I have been meaning to find your video you did where you mentioned some of the supplies you use. I saw on there where you use happy campers in your black tank. So I thought I would try it. WOW. What a difference. It is truly the only additive that has actually helped dissolve EVERYTHING in the tank. I’ll comment there if I can find the video again. I can’t tell enough people about it since we started using it.

@rladder187 3 года назад

We have been using the Garmin for almost a year and it just accepted an update from wifi in the campground. I really liked the functionality of it.

@billlong5979 3 года назад

I am ready to ditch my Rand McNally and was looking at the Garmin as a replacement so this was really useful.

@ChangingLanes 3 года назад

Glad to help! BTW, TechnoRV is having a black friday sale: changinglanesrv.com/technorv

@kevinthomas8025 3 года назад

Driving a rig for 10 yrs i always had a trucker atlas and still look at them when traveling as a backup plan. I always used Google maps even as a big rig driver but mapped my route using the atlas...and the Ego joke made me proud as a dad (dad joke) lol great review guys

@serinehart 3 года назад

Nice video, there is also a real nice phone app that is called rest stops that works real well. Actually the first of the video that shows you stopping and getting gas is right up the road from were I live. I had just been looking at whispering Hills to use as a home base to go up and look at the ARK Encounter that is another 25 miles further north.

@catpurrson3651 3 года назад

I got my RV this year and been slowing getting everything I need for my trips next year. I just purchased the Garmin RV 890 from TechnoRV.com using your link. Same price as Amazon but saved on the 8.75% Tax buying from TechnoRV.com. Also purchase the 50A Surge Guard Portable Total Electrical Protection 34951 with wireless LCD Display after seeing your review of it, once again same price as Amazon but saved $$ on the Tax getting it from TechnoRV.com. Thank You for your reviews.

@ChangingLanes 3 года назад

Thanks for using our links! 😊

@18WILLS_ 3 года назад

You did a excellent Review. Me personally from a over the road carhauler perspective I notice that the Garmin GPS's are more accurate than Rand McNally GPS units....now here's where both units fail when ever I go to into New York City, Manhattan the Bronx or Brooklyn. Both units fail to give accurate directions, keeping me on Class A truck routes.

@ChangingLanes 3 года назад

I think most GPSs have trouble in cities because so many signals bouncing off the buildings.

@kevinf3861 3 года назад

Not sure which latches hold your pantry door, but I added an extra hidden plastic click latch (camping world) like many RV cabinet doors have to an undersink cabinet that kept popping open--solving the problem. Love that enthusiastic, travel ready, camping dog Daisy! Thanks for the insightful comparison review of the GPS es. Happy trails Chad, Tara and Daisy!!

@razmondpush2971 3 года назад

Appreciate you two, for the test of the two GPS units. Suggestion, with air ride the pantry door would probably a no issue anymore. Bumps would still be there, but less turbulent. Thanks for the invite to ride along, enjoyed it.

@christinedorbert4615 3 года назад

I'm so glad you guys make videos! I can understand them & they are super helpful! Thank you so, so much! Safe travels xo

@LowsJuan 3 года назад

I had heard that he Garmin was easier to use and this seems to have solidified that point. Small font and shakey not great attributes for a device that is used while driving. Appreciate the side by side comparsion and luckily no state trooper saw your setup.

@KelleyTexas 3 года назад

Great video! My RV is under 11' tall and 22' long, so I still feel OK with using Google Maps. I do also use RV Trip Wizard just to firm up the route in Google Maps. However, I will definitely want to get an RV-specific GPS if I upgrade to a larger RV.

@AvengerRVAdventure 3 года назад

I would have to go with the Garmin... Thanks for sharing! Steve

@kims782 3 года назад

Your video was perfect timing with the Black Friday sale at Techno RV. Based on your review, we picked up the Garmin RV 890. I loved your tip on changing the gas station shortcut to a truck stop shortcut. Genius! Can hardly wait to get out and give it a try. Happy Holidays!
