Shabby Chic Boho Is it time you revolutionized your RV? Adding some extra tech features to your trailer or motorhome could help to make your road trip adventures safer, cozier and even more economical. Below are just some of the top technologies to consider adding to your RV.
Portable hotspot
A portable hotspot allows you to keep your devices connected on the go. No more having to rely on data-guzzling mobile hotspots or patchy campground wi-fi! Having a dedicated router in your RV can also be more secure, because you can protect it with a password, making it potentially safer than some public wi-fi.
Smart TV
Having your own portable Wi-Fi also gives you the option to consider smart appliances such as smart TVs. Keep up with your favorite TV shows on streaming platforms like Netflix, Prime and Disney. You’ll even be able to watch YouTube on the TV in your RV.
Surround sound speakers
Enhance your music listening and movie watching experience by installing some surround sound speakers in your RV. Sound bars are probably the cheapest way to improve sound quality, while installing multiple speakers can provide a more authentically cinematic feel.
Intruder alarm system
Worried about someone breaking into your RV when you’re not there? Intruder alarms can be set up on doors or windows and can sound an alarm when broken into. Many modern alarms can alert you on your phone and can even link up with cameras on your RV, so that you know exactly when a break-in occurs. This can provide peace of mind while out dining or adventuring.
Reverse cameras
Reverse camera kits can be worth investing in as an RV owner. When backing into tight spaces or maneuvering around narrow campground pitches, you’ll be able to see behind you, preventing you from accidentally hitting an obstacle (or worse a pedestrian). Some RVs already have these cameras installed, but many don’t, making these a useful additional accessory.
Battery analyzer
A battery analyzer can give you a true picture of your RV battery’s health, including how much charge it has and if there are any problems with it. This can help you prevent getting stranded with a dead battery by giving you an accurate idea of how much power you have to work with and when your battery may be on its way out (so that you can replace it in good time). Some battery analyzers can also give you an idea of how much power each appliance in your RV is using.
Solar panels
To keep your RV battery charged up so that you can fully use all the tech on board, why not consider also installing solar panels? These can allow you to charge up your battery using the power of the sun instead of having to find an RV park with electrical hook-ups, giving you more freedom to park anywhere and use your electronics without worrying about depleting your battery. Solar panel kits come in many sizes for different power needs. A professional can install this kit for you.
