Control and display systems for recreational vehicles
Comfortably control and monitor your on-board electrical system
Central control for key functions and system information
Control and display systems form the interface between the user and the on-board electrical system. Depending on the vehicle's equipment, essential information such as battery status, tank fill levels or temperatures can be presented in a clear overview and various vehicle functions can be operated centrally.
AL-KO VT offers a range of control and display solutions for modern recreational vehicles – from compact test panels to control panels and touchscreens. Which information is displayed and which functions can be controlled depends on the respective system and the connected components. This allows operation to be tailored to the vehicle and the existing on-board electrical system.
Control & display at a glance
From compact status displays to central control interfaces
Depending on the vehicle design and equipment, the requirements for control and display vary. AL-KO VT therefore offers different solutions for monitoring and operating on-board electrical systems.
- Control panels: Bundle information and operating functions centrally in one place.
- Touch panels: Enable intuitive operation via graphical user interfaces.
- Test panels: Display selected information, such as battery or tank status, in a compact format.
- System monitoring: Depending on the equipment, energy supply, fill levels or temperatures can be monitored, for example.
- Gas detectors: Add an additional monitoring and warning function to the on-board electronics.
- Connectivity: With compatible solutions, vehicle functions can also be monitored and controlled digitally.
Which control and display solution is right for your vehicle?
The right solution depends on features, on-board power and user comfort
A compact test panel may be sufficient for monitoring individual values. However, if you want to display multiple pieces of information together and operate various functions centrally, control panels and touchscreens offer the appropriate broader range of functions.
What is important is which information is recorded and which functions are to be controlled. The existing on-board electrical system and the compatibility of the individual components must also be considered. This results in an operating solution that fits perfectly with the respective vehicle and system design.
Control & touch panels
Centrally operate vehicle functions with ease
Control and touch panels bundle key information and operating functions in a central location within the vehicle. Depending on the model, different display sizes, operating concepts and feature sets are available. This allows you to select the most suitable control and display solutions for your specific vehicle architecture and integrated components.
Test panels
Keep key system information in view – compact and clear
Test panels focus on a clear display of selected information from the on-board system. Depending on the model, battery or tank status, for example, can be read quickly and easily. They are a compact solution for applications where monitoring essential operating values takes priority.
Gas detectors
Extra safety with reliable gas monitoring
Gas detectors add an important safety feature to your on-board electronics. They monitor the vehicle interior and provide warnings – depending on the model and detectable types of gas – if critical concentrations are reached. This adds another level of safety to your recreational vehicle and enhances existing control and monitoring technology.
ONDA – smart connectivity for your recreational vehicle
Keep an eye on vehicle functions and energy management – digitally
With ONDA, AL-KO VT offers a digital platform for connectivity in modern recreational vehicles. It connects vehicle functions, energy supply and digital controls, providing greater transparency and control over connected systems.
Depending on the application, a range of solutions is available: ONDA Connectivity enables digital communication between the vehicle and the user, making compatible vehicle functions available via the app. The ONDA Smart System focuses on intelligent energy management, networking energy sources, batteries and consumers in order to monitor and efficiently manage energy flows.
What to look out for when it comes to control & display
Interaction with the existing on-board electrical system is crucial
Which information can be displayed and which functions can be controlled depends on the connected components, sensors and interfaces. Control and display systems should therefore be selected to match the existing or planned on-board electrical system.
It is also essential to check, especially for retrofitting, which components are already available and which interfaces are present. For existing vehicles, the ONDA platform also provides retrofit solutions, allowing compatible systems to be progressively upgraded with digital functions.
Frequently asked questions: control & display
The available functions depend on the respective panel and the connected components. Depending on the system, battery and tank information or temperatures can be displayed and selected vehicle functions can be operated centrally.
Control panels combine various display and operating functions in a single central interface. Test panels, on the other hand, focus on the compact display of selected operating values, such as battery or tank information.
This depends on the existing on-board electrical system and the available interfaces. Therefore, before retrofitting, check whether the desired panel is compatible with the existing components.
ONDA Connectivity focuses on connecting, monitoring and controlling various vehicle functions. ONDA Smart System, on the other hand, focuses on energy supply and energy management – such as batteries, solar power and energy consumption. Both solutions are part of the overarching ONDA platform from AL-KO VT.
ONDA Connectivity supports approved gas sensors from E-Trailer. Whether a particular model can be integrated depends on the current system architecture and the confirmed product compatibility at the time. For the BMTCO and BMTG gas detectors listed on this page, no compatibility statement is provided.
