Not all of our iLoveRVlife projects are aimed at large improvements or additions to our 5th wheel. In fact, some can be just for fun. That’s where we are with this addition. We added the VEVOR 7-in-1 Wi-Fi Weather Station and it’s 7.5 in Color Display to our Montana 5th wheel. Why you may ask? I admit, I’m a tech geek, always have been, I like gadgets, and if there’s a positive benefit I’ll give the device or service a try. That’s where the reasonably priced project adding VEVOR 7-in-1 Wi-Fi Weather Station to our 5th wheel comes in. And this one didn’t disappoint.

VEVOR 7-in-1 Wi-Fi Weather Station

VEVOR contacted us after reviewing their 3500 watt pure sine wave inverter and their 60L 12V portable refrigerator asking if there were any other products we’d be interested in sharing with our iLoveRVlife viewers. Searching the site I found the VEVOR 7-in-1 Wi-Fi Weather Station and thought this would be a fun project.

Now you may wonder why we would want a weather station in our 5th wheel. In our many years of RV travel, we’ve noticed that there’s usually an RV somewhere in the campground that has a weather station attached to their camper. I always thought opening a weather app on the smart phone was sufficient, but wondered if there may be other benefits to having a weather station providing real time information.

Let start with what the VEVOR 7-in-1 Wi-Fi Weather Station offer:

• The unit is wireless. The outside weather station is equipped with a 4 x 3 in solar panel to charge the provided battery. I didn’t want to run power or drill holes in the 5th wheel. I just wanted a unit that was simple to install, simple to operate, and provide useful, real time weather information at our camping location.
• The weather station provides precise monitoring of wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, rainfall, light intensity, wind chill, dew point, pressure, calendar, and moon phase.
• It has a large HD screen that makes it easy to read the weather data. The screen can be powered by three AAA batteries or the provided 120V AC adapter.
• If you have WiFi Internet available and you choose to participate, the weather station allows real-time data transfer via Wi-Fi connection and supports Weather Underground and WeatherCloud connections. This feature provides the monitoring of temperature, humidity, wind speed, and light conditions on your smartphone.

Installing and Using the VEVOR 7-in-1 Wi-Fi Weather Station

Assembling and installing the VEVOR 7-in-1 Wi-Fi Weather Station took minutes. As a matter of fact, it took us longer to set up the campers for the video portion of this blog, than the entire assembly and installation.

Documentation was perfect with well laid out instructions. The outside unit is marked for each part and the fit and finish for each made the installation easy. Configuring the 7.5 in Color Display took a few minutes. We skipped the section for the external WiFi connection that is used to support Weather Underground. We are moving from campground to campground on a regular basic and setting up a station to be viewed by the world just wasn’t that interesting. If this feature is used in a second home, remote cabin, or an Air B&B, I see where this would provide helpful information to check on the remote weather and temperature conditions.

The kit came with a mounting hardware, but we chose to use a simple RV flag pole ladder mount we purchased from Amazon. We wanted the ability to easily removed the weather station during travels and reinstall at our next location. We also didn’t want to expose the unit to hours of highway speeds. I’ve provided a link for the mount we used below the video.

Overall, the unit works flawlessly. It provides the real time weather information for our campground. Also important is the ability to set alarms for temperature and wind speed. The latter is most important giving us an early warning to wind speeds that could damage our awing and giving us time to retract. View the video below for our complete review and weather station installation.

Our thanks to VEVOR for providing the weather station for our review. If you’re interesting in learning more about the unit, I’ve provided a link below. I’ve also provide a code that will save you 5% off your purchase.
