I want to use TomTom go with my Motorhome. It has a Luton cab. Will tom tom receive a signal?

Welcome to our forums.
It's hard to say without trying it. If it doesn't you can get an external antenna that will fix the reception.

I don't see why not. I drive a Citroen Relay with metal roof racking and carrier tubes and it works a treat. Also have used it in a Relay High Top with racking also worked. I think the only time you will have a problem is when you are in built up areas like London or if you have a heated windscreen. I am tempted to buy a Tomtom external GPS receiver for mine as I've heard they're quite good.

The simple answer is no! At least not where there are high(ish) buildings, trees, or high banks and hedges and certainly not if you combine those with frequent turns or looming storm clouds!!

On which basis another question, what is the very best external / re-radiating antenna for demanding so and sos like me driving awkward vehicles like Luton cabbed motorhomes with GRP or aluminium skinned bodies?? (Non-bluetooth for me and my Garmin 2620 & Quest but maybe of interest to others).

No theoretical opinions please - real life only!
