If I wanted fluff and do-dads, I would step up to a newer MH. But I have none of that stuff to malfunction. Only remote I have is TV and Dish satellite. I actually have to deploy my awnings manual. No slides to fail. AC settings are knobs on the ceiling. Flip phone is turned off while driving. Bah-Humbug..............GRIN

I suppose you could go all out and adapt the available residential remote control items like outlets, lighting, etc. to RV use. Personally, beyond perhaps getting a smarter TV, I can't see myself adding more failure points to an already complex vehicle.
