How well does it work on motorhomes while driving down the road?

I have never used while driving down the road, but it will pick up local channels until out of range.

Not bad, just depends on how fast you drive. If on the toll road at 80 miles an hour yes it does but not that bad

It works great for commuting. I use mine in a Jeep Wrangler with no a/c meaning windows are usually down, and I can carry on a phone conversation fairly well. I've had a few issues at highway speeds but no problem on side streets.

callers hear you with out noise. I drove 65m/h with windows roll down and noise cancellation work very well for me

Yes, that's why I bought it. The only shortcoming I have found is that it may try and direct you down roads that are not rated for the weight of the truck. They warn of this in the owners manual. Otherwise the performance of the unit has been excellent! I drive a 80,000 GVW eighteen wheeler.

I hooked mine up in my motorhome so I have a small antenna I use to boost reception...I just use it to get the local channels (no cable/satellite) wherever we camp at, and so far it has performed well at each campsite provided there are available local channels...you just have to scan for open channels which takes a short while, then you're set....

It can be set up to work on trailers and towed vehicles. I have it set up on a motorhome only

Absolutely! If you set the parameters for a travel trailer it will tailor the routing to avoid certain areas. I just completed a five thousand mile trip to west Texas and my GPS worked flawlessly. I love the thing. The newest model has provisions for a back-up camera which mine is lacking. That feature would have been very helpful a couple times on this trip. If you buy one read about the features and make sure it has that as well. No backup camera is included of course but the plug in provision is there. They are wifi capable but we used a wireless card and moving along at 70 MPH, that feature was spotty. Absolutely!

No. It works while still in the vehicle. I used it on my lawn mower and jet ski and it works well.

I just got it and I've only used it twice, but yes it's accurate...although one of those times it did take me on a slightly longer route which used wider streets. I assumed that was by design because I told it I was driving a 40' motor home.

I have the relay mounted at the top of the storage compartment at the center of my motorhome. The antenna drops straight down. The storage compartment has thick sheet aluminum doors and steel bulkheads forward and back. Range from outside the motorhome is over 30 feet in any direction. I am extremely pleased. The relay powers LED ribbon lights mounted on the outside of my motorhome. By rating, power draw from lights should be over 60W, and the circuit has a 5A fuse. So, relay does not draw much.

The unit works well for me in my trailer on site in the woods of Vt as long as the sun is shining and you are kind of facing a southerly direction so you get as much sun as possible. I do not know what to expect if you are on the road and traveling.

works great on my 1991 Land Cruiser. I ran wires from the battery, through the firewall, out a switch on the dash, around the door jamb, drilled a small hole in the rain gutter, and mounted on the roof rack. it is super bright and doesn't draw much power. I live in Kenya, and it is awesome for night safaris when the big cats are out.

I use it on pavement and it works fine...I'm not sure about dirt roads though. If I hit even a little bump on uneven pavement it bumps all over the place.

It worked fine for me. I guess it would depend on your shocks and what you consider normal. I drive on streets and few rock roads and it never skipped, I used it in 1 00' Honda Accord.

in my opinion no, however it does work pretty well, however in my opinion it does affect the sensitivity of the unit on the highway

I use it as a backup radio to my regular comm gear at a local roadracing track... no problem working well over a mile in bad conditions. Best to have a business license though, as these are either Amateur (requiring license) or Commercial ( requiring a license) depending on which frequencies you choose to use.
