anyone know what these are?

Hi all,
Can anyone identify what the sensors are in these pics. The first is above the dash above the middle compartment. The second and third are in the bedroom below the TV,

Also the larger item in the bedroom picture is the temperature sensor for the bedroom air conditioner.

The little "eye" is the receiver for the IR signal from an IR remote control.  If you follow the wire from that "eye" it should lead to a little black box somewhere up with all the electronics above the windshield.  Another wire will exit that box and go to a little light transmitter which can be placed over the IR receptacle on your DVD/VCR/BetaMax/whatever.  That allows you to point your IR remote control at the "eye" and control an electronic device inside a closed cabinet.  Also you can point your remote at the "eye" in the bedroom and control the electronic device that is located inside the closed locker in the front of the coach.

Be aware that a system built in the 90's will not necessarily control anything hooked up to it. Some IR R/T systems have to be programmed with the new component remote control code number to work. Just depends on what is there and what you are adding.

This is the whole kit and you could get the system working again. Instructions are included. It mirrors your remote control so put the eye over the ir on the component and use the components remote in the bedroom and living room
