Smart Campers – enjoying the comfort of a digital home on the road

Smart systems only work in a smart stationary home? Thanks to the latest evolution of state-of-the-art technology, this is a thing of the past, and you don’t need to renounce the luxury of smart systems in your motorhome, camper or caravan anymore. With the right devices, you can monitor and operate various systems in your vehicle with your smartphone, tablet or iPad. This way, you can control your mobile home centrally, and you don’t need countless remotes or switches when you’re on the way to your next adventure.

How do you make a camper, motorhome or caravan smart?

In this case, “making smart” means installing different smart systems in your RV or mobile home. This includes several functions, such as the operation of smart lights or the temperature in your camper. Devices are called smart when they can connect to the internet. With that connection, these devices are interconnected as well as connected to a central smart home control panel in your camper van.
This also means that you require a Wi-Fi signal in your RV to use and control these smart solutions. Since mobile standards have reached a point where you can always choose to be online, even in transit, you can also easily connect your smart camper to the web.

Which smart functions are possible and useful in a camper?

Just like in your home, the possibilities to implement smart solutions in your camper are nearly endless. Here, you’ll get an overview of possible smart solutions for your home on the road:

• Lighting: : With smart lamps, you can control the brightness and color of the lights in your camper at any time without having to use a separate switch each time.
• Heating and A/C: If your mobile home uses a smart heating system as well as an A/C, you can always adjust the temperature to your desire, even when you’re still outdoors.
• Video and sound: You also want to experience stunning multimedia entertainment while you’re traveling? Various functions of the smart TV or sound system in your camper can also be operated via an app. If you use a tablet as your smart home control panel, you can also use it directly to enjoy music, films and TV shows via streaming services and use smart speakers, for example, to create a cinematic experience.
• Security: Smart systems can also help you keep your camper, trailer, or motorhome more secure. These smart security systems will send you notifications or trigger an alarm to prevent break-ins or vandalism. Also, you can use these kinds of smart systems to gain information on the condition of your camper and receive warnings should errors occur. This way, you can react accordingly and just in time to ideally prevent severe damage or crashes.
• Filling levels: With the right smart sensors, you always have an overview of the filling levels of your gas, water and tire pressure. Thanks to these systems, you will receive a notification when you’re running low on supplies, so you’ll never run out of important inventories in your smart camper. With that, you’re always well supplied and safe on the road.
• Electrical controls: Naturally, you can also operate smart electric functions in your camper with the right solution. With this, you can control pop-up roofs, awnings, or hydraulic beds or tables comfortably with the tip of your finger.
• Weather information: Using smart weather sensors, you always get all the information you need about the weather conditions around you. You can then further plan your trip and hopefully catch many sunny hours.
• Leveling: Smart sensors that work like a common level can also help you ensure your camper, motorhome or caravan has an ideal stand.
