What this is

A curated list of weather integrations that pair well with van life (forecast, alerts, sunrise/sunset), plus guidance on wiring them into the RoamCore dashboard.

  • Avoid unsafe conditions (wind, snow, heat)
  • Plan travel days and energy usage

Extra hardware required

  • None (optional outdoor sensors improve accuracy)
