While you might think it's easy to just pop a Nest or Ecobee thermostat into an RV, it's not that simple. Here's why:
For RV Owners:
1. Voltage Issue: RVs use 12v DC from batteries, unlike homes that use 24v AC from the grid.
2. Wiring Complexity: Homes have standard HVAC wiring; RVs do not. In fact, RVs can have over 10 different wiring setups.
3. Unstable Wi-Fi: About 70% of RVs don't have reliable Wi-Fi, a must-have for most smart devices.
4. No Custom Fits: Most smart systems aren't designed for the RV lifestyle, offering little in terms of customization or integration.

For RV Makers:
1. Too Many Controls: Each appliance supplier has their own control unit, and does not talk to each other, so an RV could have separate controls for AC, heat, water heating, etc.
2. Rigidity: The current control center in RVs is wired and rigid. Users can't easily add or remove features.
3. Pet Monitoring: 60% of RV owners travel with their pets but none of the HVAC products offers room temp monitoring/alert features since they do not have smart thermostats.

This combination of challenges creates a substantial gap in the market. WalTech's smart thermostats are engineered to overcome these obstacles, offering a tailored solution for the unique demands of RV living.

TAM: $2.5 Billion (only travel trailers and fifth wheel that is 85% of the RV market)
SAM: $2.15 Billion (85% of TAM that are compatible easily uses Dometic/Coleman/Furrion/GE thermostats)
SOM: $647 Million (30% of SOM are frequent travelers who travel more than 55 days a year)
