Unplug. Check out. Hit the open road and reach a far-off wooded destination in your RV. That’s the beauty of an RV adventure – leaving everything behind for a stretch of total freedom. But, it doesn’t mean you have to disconnect from the comforts that technology offers. There are a number of smart RV innovations that make your journey safer and easier. Smart technology has completely changed the RV experience, allowing your trailer to be controlled remotely with the latest and greatest technology.
Making your RV adventure more comfortable
Keep an eye on your fuel and tank levels, turn on the lights, extend your slide-out, adjust your awning, adjust your thermostat, or operate your leveling system – all from the comfort of a folding deck chair. After a long journey to your site, smart systems in your RV give you the opportunity to really relax and enjoy your nature escape in the great outdoors. With the convenience of a smartphone app, you can monitor and control many of your RV systems. They can even be connected via Bluetooth in case cell or internet connections aren’t available. Lastly, with a smart system, you can automate RV exterior lighting, light colours, or lower and raise window shades based on time of day.
Making your RV adventure safer
When you’re on the road, the RV trip can be made safer with smart features like back-up cameras, GPS trackers, and advanced driver-assistance systems like lane assist, collision avoidance warnings, and blind-spot monitoring. When you’re at your RV site, smart systems like door and window alarms, perimeter systems, motion triggers and video surveillance can give you an added layer of safety…because you never know if Winnie the Pooh will stop by your campsite for some honey.
Smart simplicity
Being out in nature touches an ancient part of us. For tens of thousands of years, people sat by the fire, warmed by its heat, while a blanket of stars covered the night sky. It touches us now as it touched them then. But we can enjoy those old ways in completely new ways, with voice command, automated systems, and more. Whether you want to deck your current RV out with smart technology or invest in a new RV, smart RVs are the future of recreational vehicle adventure.
