Abstract: An interface system for a portable structure, at least one power supply, at least one wired functional device, and at least one wireless functional device. A power interface is operatively connected to the at least one power supply. A wired interface is operatively connected to the at least one wired functional device. A wireless interface is wirelessly connected to the at least one wireless functional device. A controller is operatively connected to the power interface, the wired interface, and the wireless interface. The controller controls the power interface to distribute power from the at least one power supply to the at least one wired functional device. The controller controls the wired interface to distribute at least one of commands and data to the wired functional device. The controller controls the wireless interface to distribute at least one of commands and data to the wireless functional device.
