Great breakdown of how Starlink is changing connectivity on the road! It’s fascinating to see how RVers and truckers can now stay connected even in remote areas. Reliable internet like this is a game-changer for those needing to manage logistics or stay in touch while traveling across the country.

@timberthewolf733 5 месяцев назад

Always wanted to do this ever since Starlink came out. So cool.

@ramosel 6 месяцев назад

It's a phased array (PESA) antenna... It is electronically "aim-able" very similar in practice to the radar dish that sat in the nose of the fighters I flew... at Mach 2+. So yeah, your SUV at 30mph on a dirt road is no issue. Being in a canyon with walls on either side is more of a restriction than your speed. And remember, the Starlink satellites you are connecting to are moving around 17K mph - so your speed, even on a freeway, is negligible. The dish syncs and switches satellites seamlessly. Up until now, I hadn't considered putting Starlink on the RV... because I didn't want to penetrate the roof... but I'm going to have to look closer at this mount and reconsider.

@SuperRede4u 6 месяцев назад

I guess that the long and short of it is that it's no different than Sat Nav or Sirius radio. If they work then there's no reason that Starlink won't barring a geo lock that would stop it.

@x246813579 5 месяцев назад

I had this issue with my truck for 2 years trying to figure out how to mount it. Then i realized it should be able to go through my freaking fiber glass camper shell like it does through a radome. Saw someone has tried it out and it works. I am going to give it a shot next. I am not sure what RV roofs are made of but maybe its fiberglass?

@DavidKull 2 месяца назад

Why not set it on the dash inside the vehicle. If it doesn’t fit, what about using the new MINI dish? Will this work, has anyone tried it?

@ramosel 2 месяца назад

@@DavidKull Doubt that would work. While speed isn’t an issue, obstruction is. Since trees can cause a loss of signal and Starlink looks to the northern sky… the dash would likely only work when you’re heading north. I don’t know why anyone wants these on the hood, right over the engine heat. Put it on the roof and route the cables under the headliner.

@jtderby 6 месяцев назад

That's a lot of trust in the window seals of that glass panel at highway speeds. I'd be more worried about the glass popping out before the suction cups giving up with all the aerodynamics at speed. I think I'd feel more comfortable with the magnetic mounts to the roof.

@SuperRede4u 6 месяцев назад

Or mounted on suitable cross bars on the factory side rails.

@ben12079 Месяц назад

My thoughts exactly. It would be especially bad in inclement weather to have your moon roof sucked out of the frame.

@OLDMANDOM42.Dominic 6 месяцев назад

NICE!! But you didn't mention if you enabled roaming/mobile on your Starlink account or not... ? It was to my understanding this would need to be done to move from a stationary setup.

The answer is Yes. You would be surprised how well it works and says connected in some harsh conditions, I even know people who have them mounted on helicopters

@malianobrega5664 4 месяца назад

What did you do about running the cable through the back window and having the window open the entire trip? Did you seal it off for weather issues? Please show more detail about that element.

@johnabriggs6044 6 месяцев назад

Seems like a good improvement from your first field test on V One Starlink which failed to work a few miles from your home years back. but with 6k satellites in the sky, one would hope it would too. Several Sail boat on youTube have done the same crossing the Pacific ocean for about 1500 miles too.

@mrxmry3264 6 месяцев назад

could you flip the whole thing around and mount it to the INSIDE of that glass roof? if that works, it looks like a better option to me.

@CrosstalkSolutions 6 месяцев назад

Interesting idea!

@derekfhagen 18 дней назад

Agreed! I'm curious about how well the cord fits in the window, but also about damage to the dish!

@Bewefau 5 месяцев назад

This seems like a cool idea. Expensive but cool, I'd be worried about people stealing it in southern CA.

Would it work if you mounted it inside on the sunroof? Assuming you could flip the cups so it still pointed toward the sky properly?

I'm assuming you didn't run into issues powering the unit, correct? I know the Sequoia has a 120v/400w outlet in the back, but you only get the full 400w when in park or neutral. When in drive, the wattage is reduced. Had a hard time finding out what it is exactly reduced to, but my 4Runner goes down to 100w. And I know some devices/appliances don't like it when your flipping back and forth between those two power outputs. No issues to report?

@LoyalK9Utah 4 месяца назад

what starlink plan are you using? I was told after October 2023 that the $150 mobile roam plan would turn off after 10MPH or faster. You would have to purchase the $ 250-a-month roam plan... I am curious about which plan you used

@mobiltec 6 месяцев назад

@bigusdallastexamas5740 6 месяцев назад

Fixed location is $120 USD a month. Roaming is $150 as of this post. With the roaming service you can easily start and stop service anytime you like, so if you only use your RV in the summer time, you could quickly shut down service in the off months. He may well be using fixed service and they're allowing it to work anyway, but I certainly wouldn't depend on that if you really needed the connection.

@mobiltec 6 месяцев назад

I have the RV service already. I know all about it. But I didn't know I could be MOVING with it on and working. They usually charge more for that service.@@bigusdallastexamas5740

@marcgoldstone7844 Месяц назад

Supposedly Starlink has a 10 MPH speed limit. If and when this is activated has anyone investigated adding shielding on top of the antenna's GPS reciever? This might be a way around the vehicle's speed limit!

@guidoabade 5 месяцев назад

@@dabigmack2 to me is not that clear. One thing is mobile plan which allows you to use it pretty much everywhere but stationary. There's a mobility plan that allows you to use it in motion. They say they are using it with the mobile one, but to me, it's matter of time that platform will identify it and block usage.. maybe im wrong here.
