There’s no denying that I love my MarCELL unit. It has brought me a lot of security around leaving my Sable Shepherd, Eva, in the travel trailer. If the power were to go out at the campground, or if the AC unit were to quit and the temperature rose beyond the acceptable set point that I specify, I would immediately be notified by text, email, and phone. Above and beyond that, I have water sensors that are paired to my unit. The sensors have already saved me from potential damage to my unit. Click here to read about how the MarCELL unit alerted me.
When we are at home, the Travel Trailer is on shore power, parked under the overhang on my shop. The MarCELL unit continues to monitor conditions inside the trailer. Occasionally, during thunderstorms, the power will go out and I will get a notification. Such was the case on June 15th and 16th when numerous thunderstorms rolled through north Texas. The emails below were just one type of alert that I received. I also had the text and phone call alerts. While you might find that quite annoying since we were at home, it shows just how reliable MarCELL is as a product.
I’ve mentioned before that the travel trailer gets its shore power from the shop. So, when I get that alert I know that the shop power is out. In the winter this is important because my pool equipment runs from shop power. So, if it is below freezing, the alert serves as a reminder to start the generator so my pool equipment won’t be damaged. So, as you can see, it is a multi-purpose solution for us.
As you can see, the MarCELL becomes a multi-purpose solution to not only my trailer but my stick and brick house as well.
Since the MarCELL unit works off a cellular plan, I don’t need to worry if the internet goes down. That also means that I don’t need to install an expensive internet solution in my travel trailer.
We have had this unit now for over five years and it has been flawless both on the road and at home. I can’t imagine traveling without it.

Now, on a side note, Tammy is currently visiting family up north. So Eva and I are holding down the fort and doing some maintenance on the trailer. The MarCELL unit is also programmed to send alerts to Tammy. So when we have been having issues down here with power, I will get a text asking “What’s going on with the power down there?”.
Stay tuned for some updates on a few maintenance items.
