The ULTIMATE RV Internet Set Up! (This Is What The Professionals Use)

This is wonderful but probably beyond the reach of most full timers, not to mention those of us who are retired and go out for a few months at a time. Connectivity is important to me, but when you add up the equipment cost, sim plans, and Starlink it become way out of our league.

Looks like a great package for long haul travelers. Glad to see someone doing this sort of thing to combine different carriers into a single package. Hope to hear how it works for you long term!

We’ve had the peplink BR1 5G router for 6 or 8 months with the external pep wave antenna along with the High performance Starlink dish. We absolutely love it. I work from remote and this setup allows us to go on long haul trips well before retirement. The BR1 only allows hot failover of one cell provider but does support up to two providers with manual failover. We have Starlink and Verizon set up in a bond for my work and are considering adding T-Mobile home so the it can be added as a third bond member using WiFi over wan. We’ve not needed it so far but it’s a low cost option if needed. We went the BR1 5G as it did all we needed but was less than half the cost of the BR2.

I realize everyone's needs are different (it's just me for example), but I've lived full-time on the road for two and a half years. I work in IT as a DevOps engineer and use a combination of a VIsible account with the sim card in a Netgear M1 router and an external antenna (not a cell booster), and Starlink (which I added 12 months ago so I could get more remote). Even with being throttled to 5Mbs on Visible (although that's about to change with their network upgrade), not once have not I been able to get my work done, including joining daily Teams meetings. It boggles my mind that some people need to spend thousands of dollars on equipment and cell providers.

I'm the same way about holes in the roof but these are professionals. What a great internet system!

Thanks for sharing this!!! I think "how to get internet on the road' is one of the biggest questions after people learn all the basics of RVing. We have done a lot of the basics on our channel, but have not figured out what internet solution is best for us yet. This will be very helpful in our journey (both as RVers and new creators). Always enjoy your videos and find them a great help. Look forward to hearing more as you put your new setup to the test!!! Have a great summer!!

Very nice install. We also do the modem with roof mounted antennae. The sky is the limited on setup up and you are at the top of the food chain right now. Thanks for sharing

Thank you. Blessings to you.

Charity - I would feel exactly the same way as you about drilling holes in the roof. Ben - thanks for the new vocabulary word "auto-magically"!

glad you have such deep pockets

Awesome. Love it. TU. 👍🙂

Been looking at Peplink for my semi, Glad someone else is the gini’ pig lol Thank You for posting 😅

Crim dilla crim. Sorry, couldn‘t resist. But the video is very informative and combines all the options - great!

The koolaid is delicious. Great setup, I love it. Peplink is excellent to work with. Reliability and stability like they said. We don’t RV full time and I hated dealing with connection issues. Bam!!! It’s now fixed.

Nice set up for you, Glad it is working out. 1 question why are there so many antennas again, which ones for what?

"Is it overkill?" "Yes, slightly." "Great let's get started."

Love it guys ..

Charity & Ben, I have watched a number of your videos over the past few months and I genuinely enjoy and appreciate the content that you provide. Thanks so much for sharing all the info that you have and for helping those who pursue the RV lifestyle, in whatever form, to do so intelligently. In this video on your new internet setup, 1) I am genuinely happy that you found a solution for your connectivity issues and shared it but 2) feel that this content was so short on useful information that it was, more or less, a marketing video for West Networks. Those of us wanting information on solving internet connectivity issues would like to know details, such as what equipment was used and the overall and component costs of the setup. If, for instance, you used the BR2 Peplink, why that device as compared to others offered? Which antennas were used and were they all cellular, or some wifi, etc.? Why were there 4 of them? What other equipment, if any, is necessary but not shown here? I suspect cost was avoided in order to not sticker shock some looking at these solutions, but it would be easy enough to say "This system is sized for full-timer, high-availability and higher bandwidth needs and costs approximately $xxxxx as installed, but there are many other solutions available depending on your needs and your spending thresholds. Contact West Networks for more info." West Networks could have possibly mentioned some less-robust options that are available. You have always, in your other videos, entertainingly given the whys and wherefores, along with how to get the best bang for the buck. It is what makes your channel so helpful and fun to watch. I was disappointed that this one outing deviated from that format. Nonetheless, I look forward to seeing you both in upcoming videos and, just maybe, one day running into you on the road. Jim

I would have starlink. I like the fact that starlink you can do yourself. No need for an expensive installer.
