The ratchet strap cracked me up. Heck yeah man! Common sense right there!
Use what works!
UA-cam is full of complicated &/or spendy solutions - then you guys come along with simple, sensible, practical & very do-able. Good onya :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the speed and clarity of how you explained your setup. Some great ideas to think about. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! I have been trying to figure out how to get the cords in my rv without damaging anything. Love the flag pole idea too
Glad I could help!
New Starlink user here. I bought the Flagpole Buddy for the ladder of our motorhome but you offered some very compelling alternative mounting solutions that I really like!! So, you’ve won a new subscriber out of this and I win with some additional mounting options. Thank you sir!
Welcome aboard! Let me know if I can help you in any additional way ◡̈
Thank you, this was very informative. Picking up my Starlink today and setting it up in my Wildwood X-Lite.
Thanks! They've got some new hardware out now so make sure to check with your specific equipment
Wow! I've been stressing how I was going to mount my Starlink without a ladder. Great video and very helpful
Awesome! What route are you going to try first?
I am doing my research to possibly get Starlink for our class a motorhome. Thanks for some ideas and was already looking at flagpole and you brought up some good points. Thanks, and see ya on the interweb soon
Glad it was helpful! There are some new generations of dish hardware available now so make sure to jump into a forum or facebook group to figure out which solutions will work best for your setup! Happy Camping
Great video! Just bought Starlink.
After watching this I ordered the camco flagpole/tire mount combo and the bushing
Let me know how install goes for you! I know Ian at Remotely Connected has been keeping up with all the SL dish updates as well as all the different variations of flagpoles out there - if you have any issues reach out and he'll get you sorted! Happy camping!
Following up to say the 20 ft Camco flag pole and the bushing from Remotely Connected went together like PB & J. I used a spare tire from my truck and one from my camper. I stacked them on top of each other and the base of the flag pole goes under the tires, with the pole itself reaching up through the center of the wheels. It's sturdy, and I can place it anywhere I want basically. Great setup so far! @@rvgearandfar
Great video, thanks for the fresh ideas!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks appreciate the video. Peter from Australia
Welcome aboard Peter! Hope you found some value in the ideas and can implement them down under. I can't wait to come down and explore!
If you have a Solar Panel with Z-Mounts - you can just use the regular starlink mount and squeeze two legs of the quad-leg under the solar panel. Super simple - very sturdy.
Any concerns over time rubbing wear spots through the roof membrane?
@@rvgearandfar not really, I got 3 solar panels (2 at front and one in the back) and depending where the trees are I'm using a different one every time. So the individual spot on the roof is not used very much. Walking up there every time is probably more strain on the roof then Dishy itself.
@@rvgearandfar I like the flagpole mount you presented. I think I'm getting one for my rear ladder. Thanks for the video. I'm just using the regular dishy mount and thought I share as well.
Good stuff. So many great options shared. Thank you!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching :)
Well done video and great suggestions on SL set up options! Thanks!
You’re welcome- Glad it was helpful!
Great ideas I am definitely going to try this out when if I get Starlink
Sounds good!
Great video. I'm assuming that if you had one or two flags on the flagpole, that the movement from the wind would affect the dish. Have you experimented with putting flags on there?
I have not experimented with flags on the flagpole at the same time as the dish.
great video, thanks for getting to the point and not being full of yourself
haha - glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, thanks!
You're welcome!
Great Ideas!
Hope it helps give you some ideas. Pay attention to what generation Starlink dish you get as some models mount differently
Nice setup. Why are you not adding an external plug for the cable it would be much easier.
I have cut the cable since recording this video as alluded to at the end. ◡̈
Excellent vid. You mentioned thunder storms. Should the flag pole be grounded?
I'm not sure the answer on that. You could always pull the pole down lower during a storm. I'd imagine if lightening did strike the dish it would travel down the cable before the aluminum pole. Also the pole is mounted to the frame, which if the RV is plugged into shorepower would be grounded at the pedestal. Lots of unknowns with that question that I'm not qualified to answer but its not something in all of my research I've come across as being an area of concern.
great video!
Thanks!
Awesome video! So, I don’t know much about starlink. Will the antenna work under tree cover? Or does it have to have a clear view of the sky?
Starlink does not like trees. I they have a new generation dish out now that does better than mine with obstructions- but line of sight is important for satellite connectivity
Great information, thanks. Just subscribed to your channel.
Glad you found some value in it! Welcome aboard 🌎
I didn't see or hear anything about the Camco 20 flagpole. Although you have it as an affiliate link. It wasn't seen on your video. Just how does the bushing and starlink mount on to that?
Since creating this video some folks have found that Harbor Freight has messed with the pole diameters and its been less consistent. Check out the listings on the Remotely Connected etsy shop for more information- however they also print the same adapter to fit the Camco poles. The use and installation is the same as the Harbor Freight ones - just another option. Does that answer your question?
The Camco is a slightly different design due to the smaller tubing diameter. We like to refer to it as a 'hybrid' as it is technically a collar-style external adapter but is setup to allow the dish's pole to sit down inside of the flagpole to remove as much lateral stress from the adapter as possible while still allowing use of the OEM latch mechanism and alignment channel.
@@RemotelyConnected I bought the bushing for it. Works and fits great.
How many of the smaller sections of the telescoping pole need to be removed to insert the etsy adapter?
None - just the decorative ball at the top
Starlink setup
??
any concerns about lightning strikes with metal flag pole?
No not really. Could always lower the pole below the roofline in a storm ⛈️
where can I buy the bushing? Can you include direct link? Thank you
All the product links are in the video description ◡̈ Here is a link to the etsy store for the bushing: www.etsy.com/shop/RemotelyConnected
Any thoughts on mounting a gen 3 starlink antenna to a pole?
Ive seen some adapters pop up in the Starlink RVers facebook groups that look pretty slick, no experience with them though. Even if it doesn’t need to be I still like getting off the ground away from people, pets, cars and lawn mowers
Awesome info! New subscriber here.
Welcome aboard! I hope I can help you make your RV travels even better in the future!
Does the router get hot? Could it be used while connected and sitting in the front storage bay?
As with any electronics it does produce some heat - I know plenty of folks who keep the router in their bay storage though - consider a vent or cracking a door if you feel its getting too hot.
@@rvgearandfar thanks for the response. Love your page. We pick up our RV on Saturday and you have been very helpful!
@@clinthutson7623 awesome!! What'd you get? Where are you headed first?
I have a question sir how does the wire come out of the flag pole I am hoping it will run on the outside of pole I am getting the mount you have and a harbor freight 20 foot flag pole thank you
Yes it runs outside the flagpole.
Off the subject a bit, but I am looking for a telescoping ladder. What one do you have? Do you like it?
I got one off Amazon - neither love it or hate it so I can't recommend a brand right now.
Lucky you. Bought the etzy bushing and wouldn't fit in my flag pole. 😫
Reach back out to Ian at Remotely Connected - he works really hard to make sure the products fit and I've had nothing but excellent customer service each time I've interacted with him.
@@rvgearandfar hi!Can you tell me its exact dimensions?😀
@@user-sd8fm5bb1j you can find the most up to date dimensions and versions at the remotely connected etsy store ◡̈
Doesn’t the slide out pinch the cord when opened all the way? I used bungee cords to attach to my existing dish on the roof, it’s working great but trying to figure out how to get the cord to the router
The slide has a weather seal that molds around it. Yes there is some pressure and if you have any other ways into the RV I'd choose them first, but we used it for months that way before drilling a hole into our pass through. Think about wet bay holes or the stove vent hood flap as options to get it inside the RV. Also, may folks just leave the router outside too...
We’re curious, what keep the pole from spinning in the tire mount “sleeve”
On the tire mount version, nothing- but practically speaking Ive never had it twist. And if it did, the starlink dish would recalibrate itself ◡̈
@@rvgearandfar ok, thank you. We ordered the Camco 20' pole and Remotely Connected bushing you recommended - thanks. We are happy with both. One note: the bushing no longer fits inside the upper section of pole but after discussing this further with Ian at RC, we are satisfied this is still a good option for us.
Such a shame that items cannot be ordered that can be sent to the Netherlands.
Reach out to Ian at Remotely Connected - he might sell you the print file and you can have someone locally print the adapter. As for the pole and mounts I’d imagine you could find something similar- question is how much will it all cost and if that will be prohibitively expensive
Do you know of anyone in Western Colorado who can install my Starlink to my Lance Travel Trailer?
I’m sorry, I do not. How exactly are you looking to install it?
😅
