Just as many RV-ers want their mobile homes to be every bit as luxurious as their homes, they also are no longer willing to forego internet access.
If this description fits you, then we have some ideas to help you find the right internet access for you.
Many RV parks and campgrounds offer Internet access, either free or at a minimal charge, however many of them are dial up which can be slow.
One popular method of access is a satellite system which allows you to connect at broadband speeds, from the comfort of your motor coach or 5th wheeler You can be on the Internet within 10 business days.
Most satellite Internet providers also offer direct TV. You have to purchase a special bracket that costs around $80.00.
Be aware that this is a subscription service and internet access alone generally cost about 100 a month adding TV will cost an additional fee.
You can purchase wireless internet cards. My wife and I have cards for our laptops which we use exclusively while traveling in our camper van. More and more places now provide wireless internet access for their customers.
Bookstores, truck stops, motels, cafes, RV parks and even some fast food restaurants have these services. We always check before we make a reservation to be sure an RV park or hotel for motor home RV internet connection, especially if we will be spending more than one night.
WiFi is fast becoming the most available and popular means of internet access for recreational vehicle users, truckers and other frequent travelers.
WiFi is short for wireless fidelity and is the name for wireless internet access that uses unlicensed 2.4 GHz radio frequencies. Radio waves are broadcast from an access point on a tower in the immediate area. It is also known as 80211.b and 80211.g.
The standard at most motor home resorts is 802.11b because g devices can “talk” to b access points.
