How we set up Internet in our RV. (Is it working?)

[@CptnSavage]

Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU! ! ! I've been going bonkers thinking about how I would get internet, cellular service, etc, etc. while traveling in a 5th wheel. I'm currrently years away [I hope] from getting my RV since I won't be doing that until after my wife has passed. I'll be selling my house and trading it in for a 5th wheel so I am appreciating your videos. My last RV was a Hitchhiker 5th wheel back in 1991 and things have changed so much since then. Keep the videos coming my friends.

I think u guys are the only full time rvers on utube who have scarves to protect yourself from COVID-19 my hats off to u I think a lot of people not taking this serious enough bravo!

[@SwitchItUpLife]

We could do better... unfortunately we mess up on occasion... a lot of time we spend isolated in our RV or out on Kayaks... thank you for watching...

[@denisewalters8247]

Todd! Great job! I’m going back and 👍 your videos. Thank You! Keep them coming & Tell Shelia 👋 Thank You👍😃

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Lol.. you went way back to an early video to leave a comment... Glad you liked it

[@michaelawe3681]

My comment comes in 2 parts. 1) my wife is VERY entertained by Todd's screaming at the keys kayak trip. We are entertained by all of your posts. Very fun filled videos. 2) we are not looking to do any business via internet. We will be retired. We are looking for suggestions as to where to look for reliable source for pet camera when we are away from the RV and for security cameras around the outside.

[@edwardadkins8771]

It’s like This Old House meets RV life. I like the do it yourself videos. Keep it up. I love seeing your adventures.

[@thebarbmiller]

Great video! I just bought my travel trailer...selling everything and off I go. Since I work remotely, I need really good internet. Your video was the most informative one I've found (and I've watched a LOT of them). Thank you for all the info and laughs on your channel!!!

[@jrknickolas7760]

Nice job. I passed on a link to your video to a coworker that just purchased a travel trailer (their first). I did our rig differently, went with a pure cell boost system, works well for our needs. our rig is also a 2004 so we had a few different obstacles. we're part-time with no intention to full-time. tested our system on a 5 week working trip. worked well. anyway nice job, clean install, looks good. Safe Travels.

[@Luv2Bhitched]

Good info. I like the constant internet while traveling

[@Xmarblemanx]

So enjoying learning from your mistakes and how much you enjoy just the small stuff

[@6582rg]

Nice job Todd.

[@wenkueichiang1976]

Great video very lucky with the hole drilling keep up the good work

[@rodneyrochon1901]

Good job on your system. This is a tough subject and you handled it well. Simplified it.

[@tmbrealestatephotography2328]

Still haven’t figured out our solution so this is definitely helpful, thank you.

[@richardvandenarend8149]

Thanks for the info! Looking forward to a future video about how it is working for you guys.

[@ernestestrada240]

Thanks for the video Todd I have a little better understanding now of how WIFI works you make learning fun. Sheila ,Todd is a keeper tell him that every once in awhile.

[@edholtgraver7771]

Again good info. Thanks Picking up new Showhauler Super C with garage tomorrow. Will inquire about putting a hole thru its roof

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Thanks for watching

[@janellelarson945]

very cool! what will have to have! congratulations on the install and it all working

[@bsnbbq]

Great info! We ordered our GD 17MKE in September and took delivery just in time for our Wisconsin winter... can't wait to get on the road. We actually have Blink for our house. Such an easy system and the free cloud storage is great. We plan to have a few on our camper if we end up doing long-term camping some day. Thanks for such a refreshing channel... you guys have a great spark that almost all are missing!!!

[@MrArtsville]

Enjoyed. Please update us with your coverage in the US and w TMobil.

[@n1uno1965]

I really enjoyed watching you. Looking forward to hearing how it works in the future. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@JodysJourney]

Great info. That upload speed would be amazing! I’m definitely looking into this.

[@jeffboswell6620]

This is great info that can help me now. I have worked from home for years but I could do extended get a ways and work. Still have wait on the long adventures because of elderly parents. Thanks again.

[@thehotseat4498]

If you guys haven't already, you should make a video on security concerns with securing your 5th wheel and campsites.

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Good idea! Thanks

[@jeffrub1]

Great job brother! Proud of you!

[@harleynavis5218]

Todd thanks for this video,we have a mofi which I was going to add a phone line....we have tmobile guess that won't work,I know your cameras probably take 110v but the mofi is actually 12vdc you don't need to plug into 110 ,hook adapter to house batt your mofi will work all the time

[@darleneschwartzman9370]

I'm with Sheila not the most enjoyable subject but, I will be sure to share with my husband...still watched 😉

[@williambaker6630]

Was just about to change mine out and found out there is a lot better system than the 4500. It is called Insty Connect. It is a game changer for sure.

[@brianclemens2707]

Hey Todd, good work. I am nervous and in my case I use a ladder mout for my antennas. I have a 18 ft mast and directional antenna, we camp were poor 3 g is normal and I can get LTE 4 now with my motif. I have used many different things, the motif to select the correct band is the only option. I am in Canada and use Rogers/ roams to ATT in US.you can get a lot of additional speed selecting the best band on the motif.

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Thanks for the tips!... I am still learning...

[@debbielenoir5472]

Great video!

[@SawltyDawg2009]

I would suggest that for your Antenna mount you replace the white PVC you used with the Grey PVC. The white does not last to long out in the sun. The grey lasts alot longer in the sun.

[@michael_silverback_henders8156]

Nice video Todd... I need to know where you got the connector box and the fittings for it. I also would appreciate it if you would show how you set up your mofi , as far as on the computer. I love that you were excited, however I really wanted you to go more into detail about how it all works. Being an internet junkie and a complete nerd, I need complete details, so I hope in the future that you will make longer videos about your internet and the complete install and set up of the camera system. Keep up the great work. You are getting the hang of all of this... Just think in a few more trips, you may not be a complete newbie...lol

[@SwitchItUpLife]

I will share the links of how the settings are established but if I can figure it out anyone can.. plus olive IP has a great support setup... they really helped me too... the hardest part is understanding the exterior antenna for better reception... last night we watched Netflix sitting down here in Florida Keys... so speed is awesome!

[@michael_silverback_henders8156]

Thank you .... keep up the good work...

[@craigc1463]

Best video yet! RV Geek time! Have you looked into StarLink? Within the next yr it should be in full operation across the US. Crazy speeds minimal latency anywhere with a sky view for $100 per month run off a global network of 12,000 satellites! Look forward to your camera setup. Have you decided on a type? I'm leaning towards Ring at the moment. Nest has crazy data uploads.

[@dgmans76]

Can you tell me more about the mobile picture frame? Sounds interesting to have others post pictures?

[@SpykersB]

Well done! 👍🏼 cheers 🍻

[@sherrylauretani9996]

Great information. Thx

[@larryv4249]

Todd, just watched this video on your internet set up. Are you still using the same set up, or direct me to a video that addresses this question. Thanks bunches.

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Yes we are still using this same set up :-) Still works well except in Wyoming - nothing seemed to work there!

[@williambaker6630]

I went out west from Florida last year with Visible and never had a problem watching anything on TV. Only cost me $25 a month.

[@FollowALong77]

I have the exact same setup, but I went to my T-Mobile account and hit add a line / bring my own device so they sent me a SIM card in the mail. I put it in my MoFi and BINGO unlimited internet for $20.00. Maybe the issue you had was because the SIM card you tried was for that phone? I would try again rather than pay the higher monthly fees.

[@thefamilystitch]

add a 2nd out door antenna and it will work even better, we used this setup for the last 4 years, then we went to the max transit.

[@BenjaminMedlock]

Good video. When are you meeting up with the Dry Campers for your solar install?

[@CaptConfusion71]

Blood is required to be shed for a project to be successful.....that's my motto.

[@janebray9392]

🤣😜🤣😂👍🏆Best Comment Award‼️

[@carriewoods563]

We love your videos!! We sit and laugh-- we are wanting a 1/5 wheel toyhauler too but having to live through others at the moment until we figure out jobs-- do ya'll work on the road or retired?

[@leoslatin7253]

I think if you add a mast to your outside antenna, it may increase your signal.

[@NickGrouzes]

Hey guys! We are waiting on our 395 to be built and are ordering as much as we can ahead of time. Is this setup still working well for you in various areas? Are you still happy with it or anything you would now do different? I’ll be working full time from the road so this is a big deal for me! Thanks!

[@SwitchItUpLife]

We do like our current set up - we are getting ready to test it against another option....video to come soon on that.

[@fred_brunell]

FWIW, a directional antenna would be way better, BUT with the huge caveat that you have to re-aim it everytime you move.

[@fred_brunell]

With the proliferation of mobile networks these days, that extra bit of gain is moot.

[@ronhowlett5625]

Why didn't you use the winegard 360+ system that comes with the RV?

[@SwitchItUpLife]

The set up we are using offers us more for less $. So we went that way. Thanks for watching

[@rjbass338]

Are the speeds in the video fairly consistent that you are seeing? Reason I ask is I have seen some test that show SIM4 faster than SIM7 speeds, but that is all subjective to what band you are using, carrier, etc.

[@SwitchItUpLife]

I did a band search and than did a band lock to stay consistent... this process will need to be done as we go to different places... I am a new to all this but happy with the results

[@c.victoriaritchie3466]

Very informative, but way over my head! 🤣

[@richlp]

You said they throttle the speed after 50gb or so? I'd be through that in a week or two...lol. What kind of speeds are you getting post-throttling?

[@garydevore3330]

So how long does the battery pack you show last you?

[@benryan9466]

Great content, you might check out Changing Lanes they have a toy hauler ,motorcycle and are a great source of quality fifth wheel content. They been at it a minute. Great installation very clean.👍🙏🇺🇸

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Yep.. follow them but their set up was more money plus I believe they get endorsements so they probably don't even pay for their service... which is awesome for them but we don't have that option.. I hope one day we will have some sponsors... until then we are all in it together..lol... thank you for watching us... we do appreciate it...

[@robertnasser9937]

Went with a system from mobilemusthave so I never have to climb on the roof when we set up.

[@johnbutler2231]

Looking for Wi-Fi on non-cellular. Say Satellite? Any ideal?

[@SwitchItUpLife]

As of now I don't think so... soon Starlink should be up by next year... its Elon Musk project

[@donnadory7482]

🇺🇸🕊️ "NICE" 💪 Great job!!!! 👍👍 Thank-you, so much for sharing.👍 Stay Safe~ Stay Healthy~ Stay Strong. 💪🇺🇸🕊️🙏 Have fun, 😎😎 enjoy your journey.💫 🍃🇺🇸🕊️🌎🕊️🍃

[@rvpilgrims]

Run your router off 12 volt adapter that MoFi sells. No issues with lack of 110, and no need for the battery backup. You can tap into almost any light if there is no 12 volt near your router. Instyconnect (www.instyconnect.com/) looks to be a better solution than the MoFi (I plan to change to it and dump our MoFi).

A comment for KZbin! ; )

[@NewBeginningswithBudhiandCyndi]

We are curious How is this hookup working for you? Olive IP is your data plan with no toddling

[@HappyPlaceDiaries]

Great video.. we are looking at some better internet/connectivity solutions... so very timely. Thanks~. GO CHIEFS

[@theresagillingham3606]

As of today, 1/31/21, are you still having success with your internet setup?

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Absolutely... uploaded a 30 min video for KZbin tonight in about 45 minutes... plus we were using other devices at same time...

[@To.Be.Determined]

we are in search of a data plan as we have our equipment- just need data.
