The ULTIMATE RV Internet Set Up! (This Is What The Professionals Use)

Very nice install. We also do the modem with roof mounted antennae. The sky is the limited on setup up and you are at the top of the food chain right now. Thanks for sharing

Looks like a great package for long haul travelers. Glad to see someone doing this sort of thing to combine different carriers into a single package. Hope to hear how it works for you long term!

So far so good! We’ve been using it for about a month now.

[@mrmotofy]

PEPLINK has been around for quite a while. These guys just install em

[@currybryan1]

We’ve had the peplink BR1 5G router for 6 or 8 months with the external pep wave antenna along with the High performance Starlink dish. We absolutely love it. I work from remote and this setup allows us to go on long haul trips well before retirement. The BR1 only allows hot failover of one cell provider but does support up to two providers with manual failover. We have Starlink and Verizon set up in a bond for my work and are considering adding T-Mobile home so the it can be added as a third bond member using WiFi over wan. We’ve not needed it so far but it’s a low cost option if needed. We went the BR1 5G as it did all we needed but was less than half the cost of the BR2.

Thanks for sharing this!!! I think "how to get internet on the road' is one of the biggest questions after people learn all the basics of RVing. We have done a lot of the basics on our channel, but have not figured out what internet solution is best for us yet. This will be very helpful in our journey (both as RVers and new creators). Always enjoy your videos and find them a great help. Look forward to hearing more as you put your new setup to the test!!! Have a great summer!!

[@jeffsteele1295]

wow seems like a massive installation . We got the T-Mobile High Speed internet Gateway the home version. We have had it for a little over 1 year and been from Washington State to Arizona with no problems whatsoever ! We so far have always had a connection and the lowest speed from 50 to 70 MPS and up to 240 MBS. The cost around $50 and it is sent to you in one box a wireless unit with not wholes or network wires really needed. If we every get to a place where it does not work I will post it , but has not happened as of now. I do not have any kind of a cell or wifi booster of any kind.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks! I do tend to overcomplicate things :) (Ben) But it has been working very well for our family! I wouldn’t do anything differently based on our family travel mobile internet needs. Charity can work from the road on our entire trip and not lose connectivity. And, the kids can be streaming on their devices without issues during a travel day. T-Mobile has been great for us as well, but hasn’t been bulletproof. Definitely let me know your experience in the future. I’ve had times where connectivity wasn’t great or was non existent (even with T-Mobile). Having a mix of the connections bonded together has worked great for us.

[@jimedwards2621]

Charity & Ben, I have watched a number of your videos over the past few months and I genuinely enjoy and appreciate the content that you provide. Thanks so much for sharing all the info that you have and for helping those who pursue the RV lifestyle, in whatever form, to do so intelligently. In this video on your new internet setup, 1) I am genuinely happy that you found a solution for your connectivity issues and shared it but 2) feel that this content was so short on useful information that it was, more or less, a marketing video for West Networks. Those of us wanting information on solving internet connectivity issues would like to know details, such as what equipment was used and the overall and component costs of the setup. If, for instance, you used the BR2 Peplink, why that device as compared to others offered? Which antennas were used and were they all cellular, or some wifi, etc.? Why were there 4 of them? What other equipment, if any, is necessary but not shown here? I suspect cost was avoided in order to not sticker shock some looking at these solutions, but it would be easy enough to say "This system is sized for full-timer, high-availability and higher bandwidth needs and costs approximately $xxxxx as installed, but there are many other solutions available depending on your needs and your spending thresholds. Contact West Networks for more info." West Networks could have possibly mentioned some less-robust options that are available. You have always, in your other videos, entertainingly given the whys and wherefores, along with how to get the best bang for the buck. It is what makes your channel so helpful and fun to watch. I was disappointed that this one outing deviated from that format. Nonetheless, I look forward to seeing you both in upcoming videos and, just maybe, one day running into you on the road. Jim

How did they run the cable to your jack that was added on the driver side rear of the motorhome where you plug into the waterproof connector. That cable has to run up to your internet cabinet correct? Is it running through basement from that front cabinet they put all your routers and stuff in? Trying to decide if I should just run out of basement compartment or do the jack like that?

[@GratefulGlamper]

I ran the cat7 up over the top of the roof with the other solar cables I have. If I were to do it again, I probably would have gone down and found a path under the RV to run up to the front so it’s protected from the sun and elements. I’m sure at some point, I’ll need to re-run a cable but right now they’re pretty much protected with all the solar panels covering them. I hope this helps!

As a whole, very impressed with your internet solution. That being said, @18.19 min. in, you'd displayed a picture of your beautiful RV with your Jeep connected. On the back of your Jeep is a bike carrier, with bikes, and... bike cover. Because we have a similar situation/setup, I'm *hoping* that you have some auxiliary lighting solution for your braking and turn signals (the bikes will partially block your taillights and the bik cover(s) will definitly hinder vision of your Jeep's taillights...

[@grahamjgreen]

I realize everyone's needs are different (it's just me for example), but I've lived full-time on the road for two and a half years. I work in IT as a DevOps engineer and use a combination of a VIsible account with the sim card in a Netgear M1 router and an external antenna (not a cell booster), and Starlink (which I added 12 months ago so I could get more remote). Even with being throttled to 5Mbs on Visible (although that's about to change with their network upgrade), not once have not I been able to get my work done, including joining daily Teams meetings. It boggles my mind that some people need to spend thousands of dollars on equipment and cell providers.

[@Colkillswitch]

A very informative video that re-enforces other videos we have seen, thank you. I may be off base with my comment, but thought I would ask. We have watched several KZbin RV folks and we realize that "multiple RV internet solutions including cell and Starlink are best" and that "Pepwave routers with fusion, bonding and smoothing are the best". Many folks do RV trips that are months, but don't have the resources that many of the RV KZbin folks have (the setup you just showed is over $1500 initially and monthly a BUNCH). We are about to do a four month trip from New Mexico to Montana, and just need internet to do a little online work (connecting with a company server to login and do a little work) and streaming some videos. If we have a few stops that don't have connectivity, it is not the end of the world. We don't boon dock and stay at RV camps and resorts. What should we use?

[@GratefulGlamper]

Either t-mobile or Verizon in your case is probably best.

[@monkeyd2285]

I love this but do you need star link for it to work

[@mjmlcmaolcom]

Can you explain more detail why you chose 2 different size antennas and white vs black? What are the differences between these antennas? Do you need a separate antennas for each sim in the peplink?

[@GratefulGlamper]

The color was mainly because that is what they had in stock at the time and I wasn’t needing any certain color. All four of them do Cellular (either two LTE connections or one 5G connection per antenna), all of them do GPS, but we only use it from one of them (and a second one is there as a backup, but we cut the rest of the GPS wires) and the big one also does WiFi so we have a great signal inside the rig and outside. The Mobility 40G is the smaller one, 42G is the bigger one. Let me know if you have any other questions, and you can also get free advice based on your set up at buypeplink.com. You can call them at 352-316-7701. Great people!

[@TheFirearmada]

@@GratefulGlamper I had this question as well and just want to clarify how you are using the Antennas. As each antenna has 4 LTE cables and MAX BR2 Pro has 8 LTE inputs. Why only use half of each antenna? You stated that 2 LTE per or 1 5G so are you only plugging in 2 connecters per Antenna? Just a little confused on that part of the install. Great setup tho.

[@terryvaller8129]

Fantastic series you guys love it… one question was to see the cost breakdown as I’m a little confused as to what providers you ended up with, so a cost per month breakdown would be good, providers, hardware, installation, others could then add in other providers, I will be on the road in 2024 I’m buying a 40’ Monoco Kight and being a bit of a ‘techy’ I wanted to see what’s out there for a solution, cheer, keep up the great work, Terry

That sounds so good for a family that spends hours driving, and everyone needs to do some screen time, and your navigation stays online. I don't know why people have had problems with you not having a TV for the family. I'm turning 46, and while growing up, there were times my family didn't have a TV, and that was before the smaller screens of today.😂 OH, and I like Ben's new word 'automagic' . It should be a thing if it's not all ready.

[@teresaworthley2368]

So, from what I can gather…the set up is basically “antennas/signal tools” along with connections for the already existing multiple hotspots or Starlink. You pay for the set up & wiring but still use the multiple monthly services. Overall, what does something like this cost and how many different services (hotspots) do we need??

[@GratefulGlamper]

This was what we ended up going with for hardware and you can find the cost here. gratefulglamper.com/ultimateinternet We pay monthly for the service from the carriers. We’ve paused Starlink and activate it only when we need it. T-mobile has given us great speeds, ATT and Verizon have given us the reliability we need. With all of them bonded together using Peplinks speed fusion, it allows us to work from the road without worry.

[@rickfranklin1933]

Nice set up for you, Glad it is working out. 1 question why are there so many antennas again, which ones for what?

[@amypletcher4411]

Do you have to pay for a subscription to all the cell phone services or can you just use one service?

[@GratefulGlamper]

It depends on your needs. If you aren’t dependent on internet for work, then one might suffice (you can also get the smaller router). But if you are like us who needs reliable connectivity for working on the road, it’s best to have multiple carriers and the BR2 router like we have.

I can also activate it for a month if I want to add to my current connections to give me more speed/reliability. It’s all about having more reliable options for us since we work from the road.

[@courtenayblair2279]

The reason it's not an issue for you is because you limit your travels to where you have signal and there's nothing wrong with that...but that's not the case for everyone. The antenna gives you better coverage in remote areas. Peplink gives you the ability to use cellular, satellite or copper, or WIFI as WAN to feed your network so you aren't reliant on one uplink. You can bond those uplinks for faster speeds. There's more but basically, hotspots are fine if you're ok with network limitations or work arounds. Network are more reliable and consistent but costly.

[@halliard1117]

I have been looking at various options and Peplink model you showed is one. I'm not sure why all the antennas as they have a single antenna that will work with that unit. It looks as if they set you up with antennas, and it suggests that there are multiple modems feeing the Peplink unit. But you showed using the four sim cards as being placed into the Peplink unit. That unit is a few grand, so pricey. There are more reasonable options for the general user that isn't working on the road. Yes, they may lose bonding or require swapping cards and do need more user interaction.That is not seamless. Last I remember is there was a license fee for the speed fusion too. Thought that was a renewable thing, but I could be mistaken. If I am able to move into the IT only (currently I am a mix breed of electronics with high demand on the onsite IT support), then this would be worth the extra costs as I will be remotely accessing networks, etc. Also, I am looking at the mobile Starlink ($250 a month service plan) and fabricating an easy-to-remove antenna platform. That way if trees are blocking the roof, it is a simple unlatching and using adapters like you showed, change it to a mobile mount.

[@nedawilmhoff3599]

I’m wondering why you are keeping Starlink with the new system and the hotspots? Are these just antennas?

[@bojangles3147]

Pretty much, still looks like they are dependent on towers for cellular. Gotta think think it’s only a different channel or megahertz and how long until it’s busy to.

[@GratefulGlamper]

We do have Starlink Roam (you can pause and unpause service) as a backup that we can activate as an option if all carriers aren't working well (like we experienced in Page Arizona, lol). The cord you saw installed on the side of the rig is to plug in the Starlink if needed. This connection goes to the router in a Wan ethernet port on the Peplink device which allows us to add it to the mix of connections for better reliability/speed via SpeedFusion if needed. However, I foresee us keeping Roam paused most of the time unless we need the extra boost or reliability for a month during a project.

The longer wire run the more latency. Shorter run of wiring for the antennas = better speeds. Plus we had the boxes resprayed by RVRoof for weather proofing. (No maintenance will ever be needed).

[@lukecole8112]

Why do you need it if you have starlink

[@GratefulGlamper]

We only use Starlink as needed for remote areas. And sometimes other networks are faster than Starlink depending on the area we are in.

@@GratefulGlamper Lol you sidestep that question very well 🤣

[@SEANRMZ]

Sounds awesome, tech is advancing so fast to accommodate the full time rv’er working on the road, but again.. the price is hefty. No thanks I rather be off line when away with family camping.

[@GratefulGlamper]

It’s great that we now have the options for sure :)

[@eyecandie2004]

How expensive is it?

[@GratefulGlamper]

Here is the package we have gratefulglamper.com/ultimateinternet

[@TerryDensmore]

I hope it’s better than the last internet you recommended. I’m super excited to know how it works.

[@GratefulGlamper]

This set up is more about the hardware and less about the “internet” itself. You still have to find/bring an internet service provider to add to the mix.

[@larrysalaz9670]

These boxes need some sort of fairing to improve aerodynamics... Otherwise looks like a good solution.

[@arodsa8882]

Cost plz?

[@NeverAloneNeverAfraid]

How much was this?

[@nicholaswilliams5587]

Definitely should have flat mounted the starlink so it’s permanently on there and u don’t have to set it up all the time.

[@GratefulGlamper]

I’ve been thinking about it and also converting it to 12v dc.

[@nicholaswilliams5587]

@@GratefulGlamper I did that on my kenworth. Cut and mounted flat and converted to 12v. Works great.

[@kczach4970]

I’ve been running the Starlink for over a year and it’s fast enough for me to online game with. And this is on the version 1 antenna.

[@nicholaswilliams5587]

@@kczach4970 not saying it won’t work, just flat mount is nice because it doesn’t get beat up that way. I don’t game because I have better things to do with my time but I can see that it would work for that.

[@williampeacy5217]

Everything I’ve seen is so expensive for 3 to 4 weeks on the road. My wife and I aren’t full time in an RV, but we do travel and would like to work on the road.

[@ericd8151]

Would love to know the ballpark cost for hardware and installation. Looks good. Thanks!

[@HeavyJams]

I watched this half way and didn’t catch what problem that this actually solved.

[@GratefulGlamper]

The issue of having multiple network names, having to switch providers over when traveling from one area to another (for example, Verizon works in one area but not another and now turning on t-mobile hot spot instead, having to reprogram our WiFi enabled thermostat every time we change networks, and the list goes on. Now everything is bonded together, switches automatically and more. We do explain this in the video, maybe you didn’t far enough in to see the explanation.

[@HeavyJams]

@@GratefulGlamper ok that is pretty cool

[@kylepifer9509]

Please prepare for any overheating 🥵 get more fire extinguishing equipment!!

[@GratefulGlamper]

They have built in heat sinks and are the same equipment used mobile medical and transit buses. I do use a small fan also to keep things cool, but heat hasn’t been an issue so far :)

[@TomSpurlock]

I'm sorry, that's the most crude installation I've seen, looks really expensive too. All of the sealant dripping off the wires is just plain ugly. It appears the screws are not stainless, rusting already. My dual mimo antenna with my dual SIM PepWave was a much cleaner installation, which I installed myself, and it works great. The Starlink connector they installed was good though, kudos on that.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Great job on your Peplink install! I’m sure it looks amazing. Btw, That dripping is from the spray on roof material that we sprayed over the boxes to keep things sealed (that’s my main concern). We are very happy with the outcome and have given us some great internet so far.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Yes

[@randobot6814]

You're not wrong.

How much that RV cost yo?

[@joeb.8625]

Changinglanes KZbin channel already did this. In my opinion overkill but that’s just me.

[@saraparent6018]

So please forgive me if this is a rude question. I have been watching your channel for a few years now, you mention that you and Ben have jobs as you travel. Does that mean that you are working full time for your KZbin channel or do you both have other jobs as well as KZbin? The reason I ask is I would like to travel as well as be able to still work. If you are working other jobs, what are they? I’m not asking what company you work for just the job title. Keep up the great work you do for KZbin. I really look forward to all of your videos.

[@GratefulGlamper]

We’ve been self employed for the past 7 years and we’ve changed businesses a few times in that time frame. We now are professional video and content creators primarily.
