rv-c network February 03, 2019, 09:43:33 pm I'm looking at getting a SeeLevel tank monitoring system, and I happened to noticed they have models that have rv-c network connectivity. Being a bit of a tech nerd, I did a bit a googling. Seems like a pretty cool concept, but all the stuff online about it seems to be from years ago. Is it still relevant, or has it gone by the wayside? Anyone here have any experience w/ it?ThanksSean

Re: rv-c network Reply #3 – February 04, 2019, 12:26:53 pm A Google search shows little about RV-C. I found link for a vendor at the 2010 RVIA National Show and little since.It either didn't catch on or is something that may reappear down the road. I would only expect to see this system used on high-end coaches.Having installed many SeeLevels, I have never seen one with a data plug.Larry

Re: rv-c network Reply #5 – February 04, 2019, 06:44:53 pm Thanks all. Looks like it probably isn't in heavy use then. The idea sounds pretty cool. I'll keep it in mind as I look at various upgrades I want to to do. If the port is available on a bunch of gear, it might make sense to pursue it further. As a computer network geek, the idea of having everything tied to a common bus where I stick some compute / display / alerting for hacking is very appealing.

I can't imagine Lazy Daze designing in an RVC system anytime soon. But in higher end coaches, RVC based systems are much more common. In our Tiffin there is an RVC based system designed by Spyder Controls that controls things like lights and shades. Our bus does use the RVC based SeeLevel panel to feed tank levels into the Spyder system. Each newer model year seems to be putting more coach equipment under control of the Spyder system (like thermostats and AC power management). Shortly after we got our coach, a couple of folks developed an interface box (called CoachProxy) that connects to the Spyder system via the RVC bus, which provides wifi access to the Spyder system. In addition they developed support to use the Amazon Alexa devices to issue voice commands to the Spyder system via the CoachProxy.Art 1 Likes
