Ok, so we are upgrading our trailer to a motorhome come this weekend which has already got me thinking about what I want to do to it.
1st off, I would like to expand the Elk to give me coverage while parked at home. On the road is a different story I know.
I have a few extra wireless door sensors but I am thinking of just putting in a wireless motion of which I have a couple brand new spares lying around. They are 60-511-02-95 / DS924I Pet Immune PIR. During the winter, would the wireless motions work when it gets below freezing? If not, are there models that would work for this application and with the 1 way Elk wireless receiver that I have?
Any thoughts if that is even the right direction or should I be thinking of something else?
It's an older unit with tube tvs so I already know I will need to rip out all the old tech and install new flat panels.
I need to look into 12v options for building a media server so I can simply copy a portion of what's on my home server out to the motorhome and use some micro HTPC attached to the LED tvs for entertainment. If 12v is no go then I might have to run local inverters at each locale or perhaps install a large pure sine wave inverter to cover all over the coach.
I want to replace all the lighting with LED lighting to reduce the heat and longer run time on the house batteries.
Not sure what, if any automation could be applied to it as I have never owned one before so this will be a bit of a learning experience.
Wish me luck
Thanks!
