How I Set Up My RV for HA

Dynamic Weather/Location:
Our camper stays connected over a Verizon MiFi X Pro 5G. This device happens to have a built in GPS NMEA stream that can be enabled. I was able to write a simple curl shell command that pulls the latitude, longitude and altitude. This runs every 30 minutes when the camper is away from home and updates the HA location accordingly.

I just realized today that although my location updates dynamically, none of the standard weather integrations allow dynamic location updates out of the box - they are all set up with initial coordinates and stay static. After a bit of research, I did find a solution. Rather than rewrite the same information, the solution I found is here - Yet Another Smart Camper Project - #12 by woodsby.
