Lippert Components Smart RV system is called OneControl RV and comes in two flavors:
- "Wireless" - the basic system with no built-in connectivity, instead it pairs to an iOS device to allow control of the RV systems from in or near the RV.
- "ConnectAnywhere" - Adds integrated LTE Cellular connectivity which provides the ability to control the OneControl system from anywhere as well as provide LTE data for the RV.
The ConnectAnywhere system is powered by a cellular gateway module that allows the sharing of a user-provided AT&T connection - you just need to provide an activated SIM card and data plan. The gateway only supports LTE Bands 2, 4 and 12/17, plus 3G bands 2, 4 and 5. The gateway is certified for use with AT&T but could be used with a T-Mobile data plans as well.
The ConnectAnywhere system also provides voice control via Amazon's Alexa.
Beginning in 2019, some higher-end Grand Design, Heartland and Forrest River RVs have the system either installed or prewired. Based on Lippert's track record, we expect other RV manufacturers will begin to offer this pre-wiring too.
