The open platform for connected recreational vehicles
We connect
what others just install.
OpenCamperCore is the open platform for connected recreational vehicles, self-builders, manufacturers and fleets.
Our Vision
The camping industry creates great products — but every system speaks its own language. Modern recreational vehicles don't need another silo solution, but a common platform.
Manufacturer-independent. Offline-capable. Future-proof. Made in Germany.
OpenCamperCore was not created to replace existing systems.
OpenCamperCore was created to connect existing systems more intelligently.
Because the future is not about more devices. The future lies in existing devices finally being able to talk to each other.
The Problem
- Too many apps
- Too many displays
- Too many manufacturers
- No common language
The Solution
- Central interface
- Open protocols
- Local control
- Modern integration
So funktioniert es
Ein Kern verbindet alle Systeme.
Heizung, Energie, Licht, Sensorik, Fahrzeugdaten — OpenCamperCore bringt bestehende Systeme zusammen und lässt sie miteinander sprechen.

We connect — on your behalf too.
OpenCamperCore is more than a product — it is the connecting layer between systems. We offer this exact expertise as a service too: we consult, integrate and develop individual solutions together with manufacturers, conversion workshops and fleet operators.
Custom Integrations
Specialist devices, manufacturers and bus systems cleanly connected.
Custom Development – Hardware & Firmware
Customer-specific control units, firmware and OEM solutions.
Consulting & Concept
Technical consulting and system architecture from the start.
Software & Visualisation
Web interfaces, app connectivity, Home Assistant, Node-RED, dashboards.
Victron Professional Integration
Victron energy systems cleanly integrated into the overall system.
OpenCamperCore is not really hardware. The hardware is just the visible tip.
The camping industry creates great products — but each speaks its own language. OpenCamperCore connects these worlds.
Technology
A common language for the whole vehicle.
Supported technologies: CAN, LIN, CI-BUS, RV-C, RS485, MQTT, REST API, Home Assistant, Victron, Node-RED, ESPHome, OTA Updates, Webinterface, Offline-first.
What makes OpenCamperCore — each feature explained:
Beta Program
Develop together. Get better together.
- We develop together with beta testers.
- Every vehicle is different, every build is different.
- Real users help with real requirements.
- Goal: an open, practical interface.
OpenCamperCore was not developed because the world needs another control unit.
OpenCamperCore was developed because the best systems in the world should finally be able to talk to each other.
App & Integrations
More than hardware.
The local vehicle app for everything that should communicate in a recreational vehicle: heating, lighting, water, energy, sensors and climate. Offline-capable, browser-based and prepared for Victron, Home Assistant, Node-RED and further energy systems.
