    We had Tourer 1 as a standard fitting in our last MH. It did the job.

    It had to go when the van was p/ex’d and we replaced it with a Garmin which is cheaper but doesn’t have the club apps or dimension settings. We found those items of little use.

    For further views, you'll find similar discussions in the Parts and Accessories section.

    Hi, In 2019 we took our motorhome to the North Cape in Norway. We travelled via the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and the north west of Finland to northern Norway then back south along the coast of Norway taking 6 weeks. We bought an Avtex Tourer 2 before the trip along with the Camper stop motorhome stopover guide plus a few other guide books. We soon found that when travelling the big heavy guide books were difficult to use with limited site information. From day one we used the sat nav exclusively to find sites and stopovers. It is easy to use, and comes ready loaded with a large database not only of club sites but when abroad a wealth of camp sites and aire/stellplatz type stopovers. Every day we would stop around mid afternoon, a search quickly listed local places to stay with distance from your current location and brief description, If selected, the sat nav then efficiently guides you to that site. We stayed at some some beautiful small locations that we would not otherwise have found, along with nice commercial sites. We use it every time we go away in this country, have been very happy with it and can highly recommend it.

    I believe the Club’s SatNav is a rebadged and more expensive Garmin so I bought the Garmin with lifetime maps. If you download Archies POIs you will get virtually every site in Europe including Club sites and CLs in the UK.

    I recently purchased the Tourer 2 + case from www.aimoutdoors for £315.99 with next day free delivery

    Despite an initial problem with the order, not the sat nav, it arrived safely & am just getting used to it....

    What I haven't found is how to delete individual routes from my history, I found out the hard way as it Deleted User all my planned trips, all 28 days of them & I had to start the time consuming process of entering them all again....

    Either someone will be here to help or I'll have to read the instructions again.....

    However, it is so much better than the installed 5" Tom Tom & easy to divert from planned rte...
