I'll show you how I mounted the Starlink (Gen 3) to our Motorhome | RV. I mounted it to our 2021 Thor Outlaw 38MB. The roof mount can be purchased directly from the Starlink website. I used 3/4 inch screws and washers to mount it into our roof along with Dicor roof sealant.

Great information, thank you! Just a note, network speeds are generally measured in megabits/sec (Mbps), not megabytes/sec (MBps). This may seem like nit-pick semantics, but 1 byte is 8 bits, so using the wrong unit means any measurements or calculations will be 8 times the real value.

I'm always learning...now I have to make sure I correct my language on that - going forward. Thank you for pointing that out! -Todd

The RJ45 that is plugged into the dish itself should be the cord that was shipped with your kit. It has sealing rubber grommets to seal the antenna. Also the cable from the antenna should be SHIELDED. The shielded cable must run from antenna to any POE injector, be it the starkink router or another type POE injection. The cable from the route although should also be shielded, however it is not required. A lot of you tubers fail to do shielded cables.

Hey, thank you for the video! I’ve been spending a few days trying to figure out the best way to install my Starlink kit on my camper. My main concern is with the rooftop base-since it's fixed in place, how does it handle alignment for satellite reception? Would I need to move the entire RV to get a signal, or does the system automatically adjust?

@twHomeShow 22 дня назад

We just settled in tonight and the starlink has clear view of the sky. The starlink app shows it's pointed west and says for best reception, align it pointed toward the north...after a few minutes it just connects anyways, without adjustments or moving the RV 😁

the community equipment gives 8gigabit down 2 gigabit up, might be the future for RV parks

@RVadventurestw Месяц назад

I agree 👍 💯 If I owned an RV Resort/Campground, I would offer Starlink to my customers.

Hi Todd - I'm about to install a gen3 on my RV roof, using a junction box and inotek grommets. However I will not be using the Starlink router, I will be powering with 12v-to-56V DC-DC converter and POE injector, and using my own router. Seems like a better fit for your application too!

@betterwithrum 5 дней назад

Looking at doing this on our RV as well, how did you deal with aligning for signal? Also, have you looked at Peplink's gateway? It will let you combine your cellular connection and Starlink router into one service and automatically switch between them as needed to give you the best service and speeds.

@tray22 Месяц назад

Love the starlink setup, great detail. I am curious why you would need so many security cameras inside your RV. I have some setup watching the outside and the entry door for hunting season when I leave my RV parked for long periods of time.

@RVadventurestw 24 дня назад

I like them to record 24/7, so if there is something odd taking place we can always look-back at the recordings. PLUS, I have access to them from any TV in the RV, so if I hear something outside at night I'm able to pull them up on the TV and take a look outside without even walking outside.

@CMichaelRhoades Месяц назад

Great video! Question... if it's not the high performance dish but the standard, what do you do for the "facing North" requirement IF your RV is parked in the wrong direction? I would assume you just remove and put on ground stand like you mentioned? Or did I miss that your dish is the "in transit" high performance dish? Somebody needs to create an adjustable roof mount (similar to the old turnable manual Over the Air antenna mounts) if wanting to mount the standard dish... you can keep it up there and just turn it as needed... then there is the $2500 high-perf dish... if you wanna spend.

@twHomeShow Месяц назад

This is the new Gen 3 standard version. I my opinion...the tilt stand is not enough to NOT get a signal. I expect a signal ALL of the time - EXCEPT under trees. If I'm under trees I can unclip from the roof and bring it to the ground with my ground cord and stand to relocate. There are soo many Starlink satellites in the sky now, that it really doesn't make a difference in the aiming anymore. That's why they discontinued the motorized aiming version of the dish. I'm just not sure how it's going to handle driving down the road at 65mph yet. Stay SUBSCRIBED and I'll inform everyone of the experience I'm having with it mounted on the roof like this..... Todd

@@twHomeShow Thanks for posting this. I am considering doing the same thing but I was also concerned about pointing. As you have had some time to field test this have you had any issues or concerns? Is the mount that you are using the "standard mobility mount"? How easy is it to disconnect from the mount if you need to position it on the ground away from trees? Any concerns about winds during driving at high speed?

@rocklover28 Месяц назад

Out of curiosity, did you go with the Residential or Roam service plan? From the research I have done, it appears you get faster speeds with the residential plan but can't pause and only use when needed like the Roam plan.

@RVadventurestw 24 дня назад

I went with the roam plan. The residential plan won't continue to work while traveling to different locations 🙄
