I get that not everyone likes to be "connected" while camping, but I think the combination of the smarthome-like features that Airstream has created along with AT&T's built-in network access is pretty cool.AT&T and Airstream launch the Smart RVSmart Control VideoI'm an AT&T employee and company policy requires me to identify myself as such.

Pretty cool.....especially like the ability to control the awning when away from the trailer..Thanks for posting this.

If this turn out half as good as the ATT buyout fiasco of Directv and the total destruction of Direct service, I cant wait! Airstream will go the way of the dodo bird.And, Im NOT an ATT employee,

I watched the video. A lot of pretty cool features but all I could think about was the $85,000 Airstream will now be $90,000. I'm also not sure how a smart phone is going to accurately monitor how much propane is left in your tanks when nothing else I've found on the market is very accurate. The other thing that I question is how you ALWAYS stay connected when you're off the grid just because you have a signal booster. First of all, you're off the grid because you want to be off the grid! Secondly, Unless you're on the edge of the grid, a signal booster probably isn't going to help. I started to laugh when the video mentioned being able to locate his Airstream. That feature will only be helpful if your Airstream is stolen or you are extremely drunk. In that case, you won't be able to use your phone anyway LOLAnd another thing.....Very very few tent campers are going to go out and buy an Airstream like the video suggests.

I've had zero issues with the service before and after the acquisition. If you have a specific problem I can help with that. PM me if you need to.

There is indeed a bit of marketing fluff in the video.

Well we have "Smart Meters" and now we have "Smart Heat Pump" controls.
Can turn the air up and down across the Country. don't know why I would want to though.
Now our AT&T MIFI with five computers, sometimes won't connect one or two of them.
Guess the Heat Pumps are checking the internet for updates...and they do.
Waiting for the day when Enviro Politicians decide they should control them to save something or other.
New Bosch dishwasher doesn't use as much energy but doesn't dry the dishes either and takes longer and cost more than my first car. They had one with Smart tech too. Noooo! Doesn't matter seems they may be able to get into our dishwasher and freezer refrigerator anyway along with or through our electrical supply. Smart RV...when they get it to where it will drive itself and I can relax on the sofa and watch baseball maybe but Noooo!
