DDEC Prodriver - Silverleaf Pros and Cons

[Hard Headed Ken]

I'm trying to decide if the small size of the Prodiver is enough of an advantage to offset the all information available at one time from the Silverleaf (laptop version). I know quite a bit about the Silverleaf system. Is anyone using a Prodriver? Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Ken

A friend of mine has a Pro Driver in his bus and he loves it. I have been looking all over and have yet to find one. There are others here that swear by the silver leaf.

If you know of a Pro Driver that is available, please forward info to me unless of course you end up with it!

Hi Ken.  When I talk to folks about SilverLeaf in our booth at the various rallies, the one feedback I get about Pro Driver and the Cummins equivalent is that it is hard to read the screen when you are driving.   They all read the same engine data, so the options should be about the same. 

Just a brief description about a couple of things you may not have thought about with the SilverLeaf:  1)  ability to have several odometers (I use 4 and can print history files for tax purposes), 2) the ability to log fault codes in a computer file (can print out if needed), and 3) now you can display PressurePro on the SilverLeaf.

I also like the ability to have my GPS map on the same screen.  I have a couple of screen captures at:  http://www.rvsafetysystems.com/Silverleaf3.htm

I have my computer behind me and run a cable to an overhead monitor.  With one quick glance up, I can get important information without major distraction. 

Don't know cost of Pro Driver, but the VMSpc is $395

My personal opinion but if you don't have a DDEC 111 or later I wouldn't waste my money on the Pro Driver or the Silverleaf   sorry Jim
