Control and display systems for recreational vehicles
Operate and monitor your on-board electrical system in comfort
Central operation for key functions and system information
Control and display systems form the interface between the user and on-board electrical system. Depending on the specification, key information such as battery status, tank fill levels or temperatures can be clearly displayed and various vehicle functions operated centrally.
AL-KO VT offers various control and display solutions for modern recreational vehicles – from compact test panels to control panels and touchscreens. The information that can be displayed and the functions that can be controlled depend on the particular system and the connected components. This means the operating concept can be tailored to the vehicle and the existing on-board electrical system.
Control & display at a glance
From compact status indicators to central control interfaces
Depending on the vehicle concept and equipment, the requirements for control and display systems can vary. AL-KO VT therefore offers different solutions for monitoring and operating the on-board electrical system.
- Control panels: Consolidate information and operating functions in one central location.
- Touch panels: Enable intuitive operation via graphical user interfaces.
- Test panels: Provide compact displays of selected information such as battery or tank status.
- System monitoring: Depending on the specification, energy supply, fill levels or temperatures can be monitored, for example.
- Gas detectors: Add an extra monitoring and warning function to the on-board electronic system.
- Networking: With compatible solutions, vehicle functions can also be digitally monitored and controlled.
Which control and display solution is right for your vehicle?
Scope of functions, on-board power supply and operating comfort determine the right solution
For monitoring individual values, a compact test panel may be sufficient. However, if you want to display several pieces of information together and operate various functions centrally, control panels and touchscreens offer a correspondingly wider range of functions.
The important factor is which information needs to be recorded and which functions need to be controlled. The existing on-board electrical system and the compatibility of the individual components also need to be taken into account. This results in an operating solution that is optimally matched to the vehicle and system concept in each case.
Control & touch panels
Convenient central operation of vehicle functions
Control and touch panels consolidate important information and operating functions at a central point within the vehicle. Depending on the model, different display sizes, operating concepts and function scopes are available. This allows control and display solutions to be selected to match the vehicle architecture and integrated components.
Test panels
Compact overview of key system information
Test panels focus on the clear display of selected information from the on-board electrical system. Depending on the model, for example, battery or tank levels can be read quickly and easily. This makes them a compact solution for applications where monitoring key operating values is a top priority.
Gas detectors
Extra safety through reliable gas monitoring
Gas detectors add an important safety function to the on-board electronic system. They monitor the vehicle interior and, depending on the model and detectable gases, warn you if critical concentrations are reached. This enhances safety in the recreational vehicle and supplements the existing control and monitoring technology.
ONDA – intelligent networking for your recreational vehicle
Digital overview of vehicle functions and energy management
With ONDA, AL-KO VT offers a digital platform for networking modern recreational vehicles. It connects vehicle functions, power supply and digital operation, providing greater transparency and control over the connected systems.
Different solutions are available depending on the application: ONDA Connectivity enables digital connection between the vehicle and the user, making compatible vehicle functions accessible via the app. The ONDA Smart System focuses on intelligent energy management, networking energy sources, batteries and consumers to monitor and efficiently control energy flow.
What to consider for control & display systems
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.
When retrofitting, you should also check which components are already in place and which interfaces are available. For existing vehicles, the ONDA platform also offers retrofit solutions that allow compatible systems to be gradually extended with digital functions.
Frequently asked questions about control & display
The scope of functions depends on the specific panel and the connected components. Depending on the system, for example, battery and tank information or temperatures can be displayed and selected vehicle functions operated centrally.
Control panels consolidate 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 available interfaces. Before retrofitting, you should 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 is dedicated to power supply and energy management—such as batteries, solar energy 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 existing system architecture and the compatibility confirmed for each product. No compatibility statement is made for the BMTCO and BMTG gas detectors listed on this page.
