Having reliable access to the internet whilst away in your caravan or motorhome is becoming a more important requirement for many people. In this video I run through what the challenges are in accessing the internet whilst camping, often in rural areas, and what solutions are available to overcome those obstacles.
From simply using the mobile phone you already have, buying a low cost WiFi hotspot or installing a fixed mobile internet solution. There are many options available each with their advantages and disadvantages.

Super helpful! I'm a full time RV'er and I personally use HomeFi. It's a great option for me and has worked wonderfully for all my remote work and streaming services. It connects me to the nearest strongest signal so I am constantly connected wherever I go.

Thank you Amy, I'm glad you liked the video. I don't think I've seen Homefi, but have seen a similar product in the UK. Thank you for pointing it out. Having the ability to connect to any available network is certainly one of the best ways to guarantee signal if you are travelling a lot.

This is what I like, keep it factual and succinct, I bet the large majority of people share my view. Good content, thank you 👍. The only thing I do not care for is the Avtex aspect, there are better and more cost effective systems, so sorry but for this alone I won't be subscribing to your channel.

Thanks glad you liked it and found it helpful. In terms of the Avtex that is just the system we went for, for a number of reasons some of will likely not apply to other users. That is why I pointed out that there are other kits available including the option of buying components to make up a kit. If you have specific kits or options that you'd recommend then please do let me know as it will help others in the community. Thanks for the feedback though it really does help the channel.

Just buy a little more 3/4G. Then just use your hotspot off your phone. Most phones are far ahead of any other piece of kit. I pay £5.00 a month to get plenty of airtime. Can watch between 50 to 70 films a month. No holes in your roof and @ £5.00 a month extra on my phone is super cheap. It would take about 10 years before it equals a wifi router or satellite dish.

Using your mobile phone, as I said in my video, is certainly the lowest cost option for having WiFi on site . . . if you can get signal. In low signal areas it's the least reliable. In the few months since fitting the Avtex unit we have already stayed at several sites where our mobile phones could not get a reliable internet connection. But the Avtex, on the same provider could.
