The Best Internet Devices and Services for Your RV

While being able to unplug and get away from the world in your recreational vehicle is important, having internet access is necessary for several reasons. If you work full-time remotely while living in your RV, you’ll likely need the internet to do your job. The Internet also provides you access to streaming services for your evening movies and music playlists. Also, having internet in your RV can help you to more thoroughly explore the world around you, while also giving you some safety in the form of important weather information.

Most RV campgrounds provide free WiFi, but it isn’t always the best or the fastest internet, and if you’re boondocking out in the woods, you’ll need something else anyway. Here are a few of the best RV internet devices and services you can obtain to stay connected wherever you go!

Limited or Unlimited?

When it comes to using a data plan from your cell phone carrier, which is one of the best options for mobile internet, you can select between limited and unlimited plans. The option you select will depend largely on your needs, but also your budget.

A limited data plan provides a set amount of data for a flat rate. It’s possible to purchase separate plans for different purposes, such as a data plan that’s good for streaming movies and other content.

An unlimited data plan will likely cost more than a limited plan, but you get the advantage of not having as low of a cap on your data usage. Keep in mind that many carriers will throttle your speeds after you use a certain amount of data in a month’s time.

Bandwidth

Another choice you’ll want to make has to do with bandwidth. 5G speeds are now much more commonplace than they were a few years ago, so the cost has come down. With 5G internet, you can easily stream movies, shows, and music, and participate in online gaming.

Hotspots

Your cell phone carrier may also offer you the ability to purchase a mobile hotspot device that relies on the carrier to provide internet service. The cell phone signal is rebroadcast by the device as a WiFi hotspot, allowing several devices to use the internet simultaneously.
