Why Portable Projectors are Great for Camper Van/RV Entertainment

The summer of 2020, and possibly summers to come, presents several challenges people have not faced in a long time. Or actually ever, considering the circumstances. For the first time in the age of modern travel, hopping on a plane for your vacation isn’t all that easy, and increasingly, people transition to local, ground-bound leisure travel rather than long-distance excursions that rely on airplanes.

Instead of those airplanes, recreational vehicles are coming back in style, because they offer vacationers the ability to extend travel range without depending on public transportation or even hotels. Unlike the cramped confines of regular passenger cars, camper vans and other recreational vehicles (RVs) offer an environment that’s very close to a home on wheels. And that includes entertainment. Portable projectors up the fun factor as they offer camper van dwellers a massive screen experience on the road. RVs can’t fit large screen TVs or complex entertainment systems, since they have limited space and power delivery. Easily rechargeable and simple to use portable projectors fit right into the picture, so to speak. 

Camper vans and RVs were designed for people who want to enjoy the splendours of the road while remaining as self-reliant as possible. You drive, cook, and sleep your way across the span of your chosen road trip with less dependence on external factors compared to when driving a regular car. But that also means you’ll need to entertain yourself and any co-travellers, as you won’t have access to motel cable TV every night.

While driving, sightseeing, and hiking nature trails may take up most of your daytime during your camper van adventure, evenings will likely be spent hanging out at a campsite or parking area. That’s when you’ll do your cooking, barbecuing, and communal interaction.

Then it’ll be time to kick back and enjoy some movies, and that’s where a portable projector proves so useful. 

Portable projectors, when done right, have bright and clear image quality that shines great at night as you enjoy your road-based freedom beneath the stars, away from any cities. You don’t need a special screen, but you can get one if you want. If there’s no screen around, just use the side of your camper van, the wall of any available structure, or a blanket hung up between two trees. We’re not joking, that last one works fine. Don’t forget, a proper portable projector has quality built-in speakers to take care of the sound, saving you the need to worry about external audio and cable clutter.

Of course, if you want to go all luxury-class, that’s possible with offerings like the Kompanja van, but you don’t need to go that far. We’re all about keeping things simple.

Relax, watch a favorite movie or TV show, laugh with family and friends, and recharge for another day of exploration and wonder. With a camper van or RV, you have a greater degree of freedom to determine your itinerary and keep the pace slower and more contemplative, and a portable projector is an important ally in your quest for the ultimate road trip. Just make sure you pick the right one.
