One Year of Starlink: Our Real Use Experience

[@davehansen2264]

As you move around the country enjoying this beautiful country, do you have to contact Starlink and tell them your at a different zip code, or does the antenna and equipment just search for the best/stongest signal to use. great video.

Hi guys. Been watching you guys off and on for a while. Even met you at the Tampa RV show two years ago. I live on Cape Breton Island. You were mentioning the campgrounds aren’t that great. It maybe because you have such a big tour that they could only book certain campgrounds. If you were travelling solo you would have so many more options. There is so many nice campgrounds around the maritimes. We hope you enjoy the rest of your visit and I will be looking at every Montana that we pass.

My family owned an RV park for nearly 25 years. We parked every camper that came in. You don't tip for this. The service is more for the owner than it is for the guest. It seems nice for the guest and looks like a totally pro job (that's why we did it) but the real reason is so the inexperienced driver doesn't run over the power posts, sewer connections, etc. Plus, you can answer any of the questions the guest may have that didn't come up in the check in.

Excellent podcast! Excellent views from your trip!!! I would like to have those ocean views that you had. Looking forward to updates and next weeks podcast.

Love your thorough coverage. We are loving our starlink. Had to use it at home as well when our cable service was down.

I have had my Starlink for 2 years now and it has performed flawlessly. With my husband and I’s seasonal business here in Michigan I still have to work during the winter. We travel in the south for the winter and I can still do invoicing and statements. I wouldn’t be without my Starlink. We also have an AT & T business mobile unit also. I have to have the best internet. I have to stay connected so I can be connected to my employees.

Thanks for sharing!

Interesting how positive you were about Parker’s Cove. That campground is a 6.3 on RV Trip Wizard and has a bunch of negative reviews, particularly related to bad power connections, a musty smelling rec hall, and poor staff service. In planning our Maritimes trip next year we selected Digby campground slightly further south, and then Rayport near Lunenburg. But your views did look terrific. I understand one reason that the RV parks are not super well maintained is that the season is short so it is hard to make up for the capital expenditure. We did Prince Edward Island and a few days in Nova Scotia when our girls were little (100th anniversary of Anne of Green Gables). Loved the area and as you say the food is fantastic. Lots to consider when planning a trip to the region.

Yes, there were power issues in the upper loop. Many campers complained of a rude woman who directed them to their sites. But those issues paled in light of the location and the ocean views.

50 amp service is normally unnecessary in Canada, even on a warn day one AC unit can handle the warmth and the nights are generally quite cool. I have found the biggest obstacle to be site size and access roads in particular for rigs 30' and larger

Love your show, well done. In regards to your comments on campgrounds. It is such a short season for camping in the Maritimes, they only have a few months to make it work, financially that is, hence the more primitive feel. At the end of the day, they wouldn't get more people with luxury style motorcoach resorts...

[@RVLifestyle]

Excellent point and thanks for the kind words!

[@bobsummers6647]

Could you do a similar discussion about TV reception? I know they’re streaming satellite and over the air, which one seems to work the best? Can you get out of market reception up in Canada?

[@RVLifestyle]

We only stream through Starlink. We very seldom watch TV at all.
