If you consider yourself a tech savvy RVer who wants to outfit your RV with the latest gadgets and gizmos, there are a few must-have items to put on your list. Here are some of the top tech accessories for RVs that no techie should be without while out on the open road.

WiFi/Cell Signal Boosters

Having reliable internet access is critical for work, entertainment, route planning and more while traveling in an RV. But WiFi and cell signals can be spotty in remote areas. That’s why a WiFi booster/extender and cell signal booster are two essential tech gadgets for an RV.

A WiFi booster grabs weak WiFi signals from campgrounds, cafes etc. and amplifies the signal throughout your RV. It allows you to connect multiple devices to one network. A weBoost Drive 4G-X RV cell booster strengthens 4G LTE signals for consistent cell and data coverage. With both gadgets, you’ll enjoy fast, reliable connectivity while mobile in your RV.

GPS/RV Navigation System

Knowing exactly where you are and where you’re headed is vital for RVers. A dedicated GPS navigation device designed specifically for RVs is a must-have tech tool. The Rand McNally RV navigation system offers trip planning, route optimization, and alerts for low bridges, steep grades, and other road hazards. It comes preloaded with campgrounds & dump stations and has a large 7” display.

Backup Camera

Backing up a large RV to park or hitch/unhitch vehicles can be challenging. A wireless backup camera makes the task much easier and safer. The rear view camera transmits live video with gridlines to a monitor/screen in your RV cab. Some systems offer multiple camera views for all around visibility. The Furrion Vision S 4.3″ Wireless Observation System is a top choice.

Smart Thermostat

Maintaining a comfortable climate in your RV can drain battery power quickly. That’s where a smart Wireless Thermostat comes in handy. You can control temperatures remotely via smartphone/app. Programming allows temperature adjustments for different times of day. Some models like the Flame Genie Pellet Grill WiFi Thermometer even provide smoking and grilling temps.

Smart Lighting

Controlling lighting remotely while saving power is made possible with RV smart lighting systems. Options like the Lume SmartPod allow you to use an app to turn interior and exterior lighting on/off, dim, set schedules and modes. No more manually turning lights on/off every time you leave and enter the RV!

Portable Solar Charger

Bring the power of the sun with you! Portable solar chargers allow you to harness the sun’s energy to charge smartphones, tablets, cameras etc. while off grid. Models like the BigBlue 28W Solar Charger fold up for easy transport. Attach the solar panels outside your RV and run the cable inside to plug devices into the built-in USB ports.

Bluetooth Speaker System

No tech-filled RV is complete without a high quality sound system to stream your favorite audio entertainment. Bluetooth speakers designed specifically for RVs, like the JBL Bar 5.1 Soundbar, provide immersive surround sound from a sleek, wall-mountable unit. Use your phone, tablet or laptop to wirelessly stream audio for whole-RV sound.

Smart Lock

Tired of fumbling for keys to lock/unlock your RV door? Add convenience with a smart lock like the Tapplock Smart Lock. It allows you to lock/unlock your door in 3 ways – fingerprint ID, auto unlock with proximity detection and manual unlock with smartphone app, WiFi and Bluetooth. Share virtual keys with family members too!

Video Doorbell/Security Camera

Safety first! Keep your RV secure with a video doorbell/security camera combo. Get notifications when someone approaches your RV and see live video of who’s at your door right from your phone, anywhere. Systems like the Ring Video Doorbell work via WiFi and let you communicate through a mobile app. External cameras can also be added to monitor RV surroundings.

Smart Display Hub

The Echo Show 15 by Amazon installs perfectly on RV walls to act as a central smart hub. Get weather/traffic reports, hands-free recipes, watch videos, control smart devices, manage to-do lists etc.. Built-in Alexa allows for voice commands. You can customize the display to meet all your RV lifestyle needs!

E-Reader

No techy RVer’s gadget collection is complete without an e-reader! The Kindle Paperwhite is ideal for RV life – it’s lightweight, glare-free, needs charging only once every few weeks and provides unlimited access to millions of books/magazines. It’s like an entire library that fits in your pocket – perfect for long stretches on the open road.

Drone

Capture epic aerial footage of your RVing adventures with a drone like the DJI Mini 2. It’s compact and foldable so it packs away in tight storage spaces. The 3-axis gimbal and 4K camera provide smooth, ultra HD images and video. Many drones these days offer excellent flight modes and safety features for easy operation too.

Dash Cam

Protect yourself on the road by adding a dash cam to your RV. A dual dash cam like the VAVA Dual 1920x1080P records crystal clear video both inside and outside your RV cab while driving. It provides evidence in the event of a collision or other road incident. Some even offer night vision, motion detection and collision sensors.

With this arsenal of cutting-edge gadgets and gizmos in your tech toolkit, you’ll be well equipped to handle life on the go while RVing in high-tech style and comfort! Outfit your recreational vehicle with the latest GPS systems, WiFi/cell signal boosters, smart accessories and mobile devices to enhance your entire experience out on the open roads.
