A tour of our DIY smart RV, packed full of home automation technology that makes our full-time RV life more comfortable, secure and efficient!

For many people, camping in their RV is an opportunity to escape technology. But for us, our RV is more than just a camping vehicle - we have lived and worked in our RV full-time for almost 3 years.

As a self-confessed geek and maker, Matt can't stop tinkering with things, and he saw a real opportunity in our RV to use home automation technology to make our RV life more comfortable, more secure and more efficient.

Our smart RV is completely DIY, and maybe this video will inspire you to try one or two of these things yourself!
