Garmin Camper 760 Lmt ... Are They Any Good?

I've said a little basecamp prayer for you and hope that one day I too will master it.

I've been using an ordinary car sat nav (a Tom Tom Via) for the past 10 years. I don't advance plan - I tell it where I want to go and it takes me there. If I fancy serious meandering I set Shortest but most of the time set Fastest route. It hasn't taken me anywhere I wouldn't be happy to go or got me into any difficulties. I've rarely needed to disagree with where it tells me to go. I don't understand the problem with a MH either - I'd take mine anywhere I'd take a car - it's a Hymer B584 20ft-ish, 7 feet 5 inches wide, & around 11 feet high with sat dome - so not by any means huge. I've just bought the Aldi Garmin device to replace the Tom Tom which has had a fatal disagreement with my PC so I'll see how it does. Hope map update system is less tortuous than Tom Tom.

Horses for coarse.
My wife works in a school and I had the opportunity to draw my works pension or re-train. So I am time rich while my wife is not. I am driving down to Valencia and she is flying out and the same on the way back (customs is a hoot - not). I know the route I want to take having done it a couple of times but need the re-assurance of the SatNav because I have no shotgun to help me out. Pre-planning is just something I can do beforehand and is part of the build up to the holiday.
As for height restrictions I moved over to camper versions after being routed around Rouen one time when the bridge was down and the SatNav encouraging me to go down a 2m underpass; the second incident was in Paris (don't ask why I was there) and somewhere on the peripherique west side there is a 2m underpass, I ended up doing 2 x 8 mile figure of 8 loops before I managed to find a way out.
