The RV Version covers the Height, 13'6" but it limited to weight.  When we had the Volvo, we used the Truck version.  With the Bounder we use the RV version.

Yeah wish this ran on a laptop instead of a tablet

There is a Laptop version.  But from what I could determine, the development of the Laptop version for RVs is halted but the Truck version is still being maintained.

I used the laptop version until the laptop died.  Two tablets were less than a new laptop.

I believe the RV Copilot version also has a length limit as well as the weight limit (26,000#).

Copilot Truck will NOT allow me to specify propane; only "Hazardous Gasses"'.

old I have a 5" Garmin dezl and two Rand McNally units (old RM RVND7710 and, installed as OEM software in my rig's infotainment system, RM 720. Rand McNally is, in my opinion, the worst of the GPS lot. Coplot and Garmin dezl are my preferred GPS solutions.

I am running copilot truck on my lap top. Installed about 4 months ago. Really buggy but they keep promising me fixes. I needed new maps which are good but just a chore to massage it to find sats. The previous 8 year old version was flawless.  I bought it from diesel boss and they willing provide phone support. good place to buy. they also have all kinds of HDT truck stuff. I would recommend them. JB

Just how do you massage it to find satellite?  That is the function of the GPS puck.

I found this :https://www.dieselboss.com/Travrout/cptruck.htm

It looks like the Truck Laptop version has come to an end like the RV Laptop version.

I switched from Laptop to Android when the laptop died.  The products are very similar.  The android version is 2/3 the price of the Laptop version but it looks like it is an annual fee now, or maybe just on IOS. 

I would get a tablet and run CoPilot android.  You don't need a GPS puck with a tablet.

Every time I start the program I have to tell it to find the drivers and then tell the program to find the sats. they say this a problem they are aware of and will fix sometime.

On the laptop, I used a US Globalsat BR_353 puck which was much better than the original LT20 from Delorme.  I used a software shim called GPSGate Splitter from a outfit called Franson Technology, now called GPSGate.  I change the BR-353 into ports that is was easier for CoPilot to find.  I also could connnect another program like Streets & Trips at the same time to the BR-353.
