How much power does your caravan really need? The 12V Guru explains how the appliances you use and the time you spend off-grid determine the right power solution for the way you travel.
27 October 2021, MELBOURNE, Australiaā BMPRO has announced that its revolutionary technology, ProSmart monitoring system, will now be available in an all-new Premium version, further expanding its role as a leading pioneer for the digital transformation of the caravanning industry. The companyās ability to design and incorporate cutting edge technology is seeing a shift in how people explore the great Australian outdoors.
āBrands like BMPRO allow anyone, new caravan or seasoned, young or old to upgrade and manage their van like never before, enabling them to venture further off-grid, without worrying about water, gas or battery management againā, said David Bayliss, Brand Ambassador of BMPRO.
āProSmart, in particular, is the newest BMPRO-designed future proof system that helps everyone from a first-time owner of a 4WD to an experienced family to effortlessly monitor RV functions all in the palm of their handsā.
ProSmart includes a user-friendly app that enables individuals to monitor a wide variety of RV functions such as tyre pressure, gas levels, temperature, water levels and battery status. It can then be paired with up to 40 SmartConnect Bluetooth sensors, connect up to 4 water tanks, a 12V battery and a wired temperature sensor to monitor vital parameters all at oneās fingertips. However, ProSmart kit only included a limited number of sensors which was not sufficient for the users of larger caravans.
āWe believe that good business lies in listening to customersā feedback and working with them to develop the best possible products. With a fifty-year history in the industry, we are committed to continuing our legacy of customer care and serviceā, said Louise Bayliss, CEO of BMPRO.
Staying true to its founding principles, BMPROās ProSmart (plus FREE app) will now be offered in a Premium version to cater for the owners of larger, 4-wheeled RVs that have both a fridge and freezer installed, and additional gas bottles for extra comfort during off-grid travels.
ProSmart Premium is packaged for travellers of all levels of experience and includes the SmartLink node, two gas bottle sensors, four tire pressure monitors, two temperature Bluetooth sensors, one wired temperature sensor, and a 12V battery cable ā able to be set up in minutes, making it the perfect match for larger RVs.
āThe idea that camping is a ātraditionalā hobby is becoming a thing of the past. Technology adoption in the adventure industry is about as fast as anywhere else, making your adventures more accessible than everā, said David Bayliss.
ProSmart monitoring system reduces risks of any potential issues while travelling off the beaten path. Individuals are able to travel with the help of accurate readings and measurements of their vehicle functions regardless of their knowledge in the area; receiving all their āneed to knowsā with the mere click of a button. This opens the market up to a broader audience, including individuals who may enjoy travelling but are apprehensive to take risks due to being disadvantaged such as the elderly.
ProSmart Premium is available via BMPRO website and authorised resellers.
