RV Electronics & Cables for Recreational Vehicles

Like most modern vehicles, an RV incorporates a great deal of electronics. In addition to the computers that control the various aspects of engine function, there are also radios and navigation devices and all the telecommunications devices that are part of the living function rather than the moving one. A third important category of RV electronics is the alarm system that safeguards the owner's investment.

GPS navigation units for RVs tend to be more robust than those for passenger cars, not because of the vehicle itself but because it takes longer trips. The audio system can be as simple or elaborate as that of any other vehicle. In the living area, though, are televisions that require specific hardware adapters and perhaps microwave ovens and other devices. Lastly, of course, the RV needs an alarm system to prevent thieves from gaining access to the valuables inside or even the vehicle itself.

All of this equipment and the accessories that help it function should be integrated into a custom RV so as not to detract from the overall design. Specialty suppliers like RVShop carry almost everything an RV owner needs to make the vehicle safe, secure and a pleasure to travel in.
