Which Travel Internet Solution Is BEST For YOU?

There is NO one single Internet solution that is perfect for everyone! We all use the internet differently and there are a range of options from very little cost, through to BIG DOLLARS! In this video, I discuss and demonstrate 3 solutions from basic hot spotting, through to the most capable and most expensive solution in StarLink. We have also collaborated with ‪@cowfish_technologies‬ , who are a young family team from NSW who have created their own solution for VanConnect internet. We lover their story and hope you will as well.

One of the best explanations on this subject I have seen. I was coincidentally just looking at the Cowfish site an hour before seeing your video and will definitely be giving them a call. Once again, thanks for a great presentation/explanation. Cheers Mark

Hi awsome video well presented, will look into cow fish, all best happy safe travels

[@chrisp3044]

Hi Excellent introductory video and thoroughly endorse Cowfish as an integrated (Starlink/4G etc) integration for those that want a more complete solution. I say this as a Communications Engineer with 40 yrs experience. During several outdoors/caravan and 4wd shows there are many exhibitors who have not heard of this product. When raised with some high end manufacturers they sometimes openly advocated for lesser solutions which I thought was pretty poor. Cowfish integration provides an excellent product augmentation for any caravan manufacturer who would improve their product offering by adding Cowfish as an option.

Hi Ant , starlink rv hardware is $450.00 . It’s been this price for a few months now . Great vid thank you

[@jebw]

Very good summary for caravan mobile internet solutions.

[@reddyman6915]

It is as you say ……. depends on your how much or how little the net is used will determine what is best for one’s needs . Good explanation though ! cheers 🍻

[@waynewright6410]

Thanks for you talk I will be going with cowfish for Shaw

[@mikefoster7085]

We've been running a UFI directional aerial with a Netgear Nighthawk next to Starlink. The 2 are not comparable for service. The cost of the hardware for both is almost the same, for an extra $60/month to have internet wherever you want with 5G+ speed it wins hands down. Starlink draws 40w so you can run to off a 100w inverter.

Great vid Ant, Had this problem in Keith SA last weekend. 1800 people town + 10,000 for their Diesel and Dirt weekend. 4 bars 5g but buffering trying to watch the Adelaide Crows lose drove me to drink. The 3g 4g 5g select the best solution question. If on 3g will Kayo work so I don't get buffering? PS. Dissapointed Mavo didn't do a gratuitous walk through in her bikini😊

[@empty_nestadventures]

I doubt 3G would hold a decent buffer mate, unless you were the only one on the network! Mavo said she’ll get her bikini ready for the next vid

Hi, thanks for the video its good. My question is the omi direction cowfish antenna. Is it ground free and, like any antenna, higher wins. So, an antenna post to gain higher, then a roof adapter while travel.

[@empty_nestadventures]

Not sure on the complete specs of the antenna. Give the team at the Cowfish a call

[@VickiNelson-fu2yy]

A year down the track, do you guys still use Cowfish for your internet usage . we have been watching this video and very interested ???

[@empty_nestadventures]

Hey guys. We use Starlink now as we are working a lot on the road. We are however still into Cowfish as they make a 12V conversion for caravans for Starlink

[@alishabab3]

starlink will have or does have 12v now but its still not as good in amps to the 12v 5g modems.. 12v starlink is 5-10a compared to 0.7a...

[@vanessa1474]

So forgive me, but is it a case of one or,the other, or do you get both? (Cowfish vs Starlink)

[@empty_nestadventures]

Hey Vanessa. This vid was nearly 2 years ago, before Starlink was available Australia wide. The Cowfish setup in this vid is perfect for those not travelling to really remote places, who just need internet for basic things like emails, socials, tv. Starlink has improved since then a lot, but is still expensive for basic usage. We use Starlink now as we are often very remote and we both are working some of the time as we travel. Ant runs high def video calls in his job, so he needs high quality internet that is consistent from place to place. We might do an updated video on this explaining the user cases

[@vanessa1474]

@@empty_nestadventures that would be great.
