Once it fully gets off the ground – literally and figuratively – mobile Internet speeds will rocket. Actually, a lot of it is already off the ground and has been rocketed into orbit right now, a […]Read More

Location Independence is a phrase you hear a lot about these days in the RV industry as more and more people take to a life on the road in their RV and do their work from anywhere, as long as they have a connection to the Internet. That connection is now a whole lot more […]Read More
For many, it's important to stay connected – even when we are in our RV in the middle of nowhere and there is no WiFi or a phone signal to take us online. Enter satellite Internet.

All I really wanted to do was hide out and avoid the excitement of the upcoming 4th of July weekend. I failed. I've been camped for three days at the end of Forest Road 2124, a little spur off the Beartooth Highway on the plateau at 10,164 feet along the Montana-Wyoming border. Things were nice […]Read More

Until this past weekend, that is, when I basically went off-the-grid in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. While I have had 3G connectivity in the tiny town of Grand Marais, it seems to go in and out as the […]Read More
