Cavco has announced that it will showcase a smart park model RV at RVX, March 12-14, in Salt Lake City.
“Our smart park model RV is a look into the future,” said Tim Gage, Cavco’s VP of park model RVs, cabins, and specialty products. “Cavco’s longstanding relationship with key developers and resort and industry leaders like Kampgrounds of America played a key role in establishing what will be displayed.”
The unit has more than a dozen voice-activated and futuristic amenities, according to the company, including:
- Voice-controlled artificial intelligence.
- Savant Platform Smart Host 2 automation software system.
- 12-inch Apple iPad central display.
- Voice-controlled lighting and window coverings by Lutron.
- Dimplex Opti-V Aquarium with 3-D, virtual exotic fish.
- Remote or voice-controlled vertical commercial roller screens on the front porch.
- Voice-controlled 43-inch Samsung Frame Premium 4K TV with Roku Ultra.
- Sonos acoustic speakers placed professionally for optimal sound.
- Voice-controlled, award-winning Haiku ceiling fans.
- Oversized smart sensor Velux skylights featuring NETATMO, clear glass and solar-activated blackout shades.
“All of this might seem a bit of a stretch of a rental unit in a campground, but the campground industry is increasingly embracing new technology because that’s what their guests demand,” Gage said. “Most campers have a hard time parting with their electronic devices. We think in the future, they’ll be increasingly enamored with voice-activated amenities in their homes and will expect to see them when they travel as well.”
