Motorhome owner Dirk Ellenbeck, who works for the company in his native Germany, has equipped his Adria Matrix motorhome with a plethora of security and safety tech to add peace of mind to his touring.

Using a mix of products, including some offered by Vodafone itself as part of an ‘internet of things’ package, Dirk has enhanced his motorhome to have a cordless internal camera, door sensors, driving and reversing cameras, self-levelling suspension, all-round central locking (including locker doors), smartphone-controlled heating and air con, and even a tracker so he knows where his pet dog Hazel is at any time.

The drawbacks of such a system may be that much of it requires a 4G network signal to operate, but it’s certainly fascinating to see how this kind of ‘smart home’ technology is advancing to become useful, and also practical, for touring purposes.
