RV GPS with Dash Cam

My Garmin Nuvi is getting old. It is the model with the HD dash cam. Even though it has lifetime updates, the dash cam itself is starting to age. At times the device loses connectivity to the flash cards and stops recording, then magically finds them again. I also noticed a few saved videos have trash noise at the bottom.

Since I will want an RV map that I can put in my trailer information so it can route properly and avoid roads the trailer doesn't belong on, I want to replace the Nuvi, but it needs to have a dash cam as well, and not able to find one, so if anyone has a suggestion of one they have or have seen, would be greatly appreciated.

I couldn't tell you how many times the dash cam came in handy for insurance reasons as well as some great driving vids, especially in Utah.

I could get just a dash cam, but that requires extra wires and such, along with windshield clutter.

I have a Garmin 785 LMT. It is designed for commercial vehicles and you can program vehicle dimensions and weight into it for routing. It also had an integral dash cam. I've been real happy with mine.

I saw that in my search. I got one direct from Rand McNally for $327. I also grabbed one of the backup cameras for $30. Thanks though. I did watch the unboxing video from them.

We use a Garmin RV760LMT GPS and a separate dash cam (and a dedicated dash cam in the chase car, too). The Gramin RV GPS has worked very well for us. Separate devices can be replaced separately, too, if either has an issue (which none of ours have in five years or so).

Yes, that is exactly what I am looking for. Now to do some shopping, making sure it is the RV and not Car version.

Thanks.

Actually, this was the exact one I have been looking for. When I tried searching for it all the others came up but not this one. I did find one for a good price and have it ordered.

Looks like it has a dash mount, so will look around for a window mount for it since that is how my Garmin is right now. If not a no drill/no glue mount will be needed.

Deer and an icy road where the other driver lost control. I've been through training that a good 90% on this board have not done, or even considered. Hold a Class A CDL, so please keep your conclusions AFK,and on topic, thanks.

Garmin DriveAssist 50LMT (with Built-in Dash Cam Car GPS) is about all that google turns up. You may be SOL, as they say.
