Upgrade Your Road Trip: High-Tech Features Make RV Camping Easier Than Ever
By Kelsi Nuss, Web Director, Johnston RV
Intimidated by RV ownership? You’re
not alone. There’s a lot to learn when
it comes to using a camper, but the
experience comes with the amazing
promise of adventure no matter
if your goal is more family time together on the weekends, workfrom-anywhere
independence, or simply to see more of this great
country we live in up close.
Since the early days of recreational vehicles, the world of RV travel
has advanced signi 昀椀 cantly, lending ease to seasoned and new RVers
alike. Here are some high-tech amenities RVers today can have
at their 昀椀 ngertips to enhance comfort, convenience, ef 昀椀 ciency, and
safety when traveling.
Smart Climate Control
RVs with intelligent climate control systems allow you to customize
exact temperature settings and schedules using your Smartphone
and/or voice commands. Some RVs even have zoned climate control
options making it possible to customize the temperature in different
parts of the camper.
Advanced Entertainment Systems
Large HD LED TVs, sound bars, and home theater systems — oh
my! Many modern campers are also equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity
options and are pre-wired for smart TV and satellite TV, hightech
goodies that facilitate watching the big game, entertainment on
a rainy day, or enjoying a successful workday on the road.
Touchscreen Control Panels and
Smart Home Integration
Another high-tech feature found in modern RVs is a touchscreen
control panel that allows you to monitor and control everything
from lighting and temperature to security and entertainment in one
central hub. These may also include an app so you can control the
RV remotely from your phone, voice-activated commands capabilities,
and smart home integration capabilities. Smart home integration
can save energy costs, improve security, and let you personalize
the environment in your RV.
Safety and Security
Contemporary RVs frequently are equipped with sophisticated security
features including alarm systems, CCTV cameras, and remote
monitoring. This enables you to monitor your camper while you’re
not there, creating peace of mind and protection on your investment.
RV Automation
Automation is transforming the RV experience by simplifying essential
tasks. Automated leveling systems make setting up camp a
breeze by detecting uneven terrain and automatically adjusting the
camper’s leveling jacks, eliminating the need for manual leveling.
Automated awnings are another feature that says time and effort,
allowing you to focus on the joys of your journey.
Energy-Ef 昀椀 cient Appliances
Energy-ef 昀椀 cient appliances that save energy and lessen your carbon
impact are frequently found in high-tech RVs these days. LED
lighting, energy-ef 昀椀 cient refrigerators, and low-power HVAC systems
are a few appliances that will provide you the freedom to enjoy
home comforts on the road.
While availability of these high-tech features in new campers varies
from model to model, it is certain that manufacturers use them to
place priority on safe, enjoyable, user-friendly experiences for RVers
(or future RVers!) at the forefront of their designs. When choosing
your next RV, take into account these modern amenities and how
they can provide support and boost comfort while out on the road
and at the campground!
