Staying Connected

         As I mentioned on my last post it is extremely difficult to get internet or TV in an RV that does not have a specific address. The best way for getting TV would be satellite. Dish and Direct TV both have plans for RVs but they cost A LOT! The satellites themselves are $500+ depending on what you get and then on top of that you pay the monthly packages. Dish has no contract so the monthly is a bit higher than Direct TV since they have you sign a 2yr contract.
       Internet is a whole other story. Satellite internet has packages for $800/mo and you still have to pay for the satellite. The only other option is to make your cell phone into a hotspot. I was very excited about this plan since I've been grandfathered in on the unlimited data plan from AT&T. But guess what?! They don't allow the unlimited plans to make your cell phone into a hotspot, so the only way for me to do this would be to switch into a plan which I pay depending on how much data I want...ridiculous! Now the most frustrating part is that even if I switch my plan, the cell service is really bad when you are in the middle of nowhere, so a mobile booster is crucial to staying connected.
      After doing a lot of research on mobile boosters the best one I found is the WeBoost Drive 4G-X. It's able to boost multiple devices and the range is the best out of all of them. It takes about 2-4 weeks for it to deliver since they are out of stock in stores.
      Some of you may be wondering the need to stay connected while traveling, but for me I want to use my time wisely, focus on going back to school and continuing with my online clients. I'm also extremely excited to share my experience in the RV to all who want to read it:)
