Could have done a better job research on the RV that I purchased from a private owner. Apparently this was a Cruise America rental. The person I bought it from did not give me details. And it seems hard to get information from either Cruise America or Thor.

Today my question is what is the best internet for a person living in an RV. Comcast wants an actual physical home address. Hughes Net is relatively expensive for person living on Social Security. I am a T-Mobile customer for my phone with data. However I still need internet access from an unlimited supplier. I like to watch movies and sports and news, excetera. Federal Parks do not offer internet and state parks don't offer great service. I noticed people have DirecTV satellite hookups. Everything costs a lot of money. Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Michael McMahon
T-Mobile Metro Smart hotspot has a 50-50 plan (50 gb for $50). I use the T-mobile for cell service and it works most everywhere I camp. The problem with cell data TV is we time shift and record sometimes 5 channels simultaneously. Only Dish or DirecTV allow this. You can get a basic Dish service for less than $50 a month after you buy the equipment and you can activate just as you need the service. For Internet, I have an ATT ZTE mobley which has am unlimited plan (after 17gb it may be throttled if the network is constrained). Unfortunately that plan and device has not been available for some time. Usually the cell connection is good enough for one HD data stream and since my DirecTV HS-17 receiver is Internet capable we just set it to record the Internet and watch it later.
