Greetings and Salutations (and GPS Question)

G'Day to All,

For the last 18 months we've been playing with our "new" rig (a 2005 Mountaineer 29 BH and F-250 PSD) and are overall very pleased. Before this we had 100 nights on a Trail Manor 2619 with a Honda Odyssey (sounds bad but really worked great with an equalizer set up; over 10K comfortable miles and fit into the garage. A great "learner" vehicle!)

The current rig is looooong, with a 172" wheel base crew cab truck, so I went with a Pull-Rite hitch. This turned out to be a real help, both for sway control and for tucking into tight spots, because the pivot is up by the truck's rear axle.

My question concerns Truck-oriented GPS. Does anyone out there have experience with one of the later models? We have to be careful about where we get our diesel and many stations are simply not practicable without dropping the trailer. Ideally, I'd like to be able to pick out good, accessible fueling stations every 300 miles or so en route, and I'd like the GPS to facilitate that.

Any suggestions?

Thanks and Happy Trails...

Sam Bays
