- We use Starlink in the caravan as well as a Maxview Roam X router to ensure we have internet access. It's how we watch TV...

Well done Graham great vid as always. Two things to remember - if you’re somewhere with good 4G it’s not for you - if you’ve got fibre it’s not for you - was never designed to compete with that. Prices are halved at the moment because the next version is coming out but I don’t see any advantage for the caravan user except it has an RJ45 port on the router - BUT when you need to be connected with a reasonable amount of data and there’s no other signal or the alternatives are expensive eg European sims - then it’s brilliant (only £50 per month in Europe. Set up 5 mins each time. The trees thing needs to be considered but it’s just one of several things we already consider choosing a pitch.
I have literally just been installing starlink into the Village Community Hall this afternoon. Used the wall mount adaptor. Easy set up and good speeds. The only issue is that we don't get any wifi signal at one end of the building, so I have just ordered the ethernet adaptor and some passthrough powerline adaptors. Hopefully, that will cure it. Enjoy your travels, and thanks for sharing.
Starlink do a mesh extender as well…
Thanks for watching
I put my dish on the roof via the skylight (swift Conqueror 630) Starlink is a great piece of kit an essential for us "Digital Nomads!"😀
Really interesting, Cheers Graham 👍 been wondering about Starlink and if it would be helpful, so this was a good honest look into to it. Definitely agree that it would be very useful when abroad.
Great vid as always.
Thanks for watching. It’s not as convenient as our 4g router as that’s ready to go. I’m using it now and getting 157Mbps which is really good. EE sim is returning 24. TBF both are good enough speeds 👍🏻
Good subject and general review. It's certainly an extra worth considering if you were on the road a lot or often in places where mobile/cell data is poor. Feels like they need to consider halving the price if they want to get anywhere near being competitive on both home and roam plans... Perhaps they are still to some degree in test and learn and there are capacity constraints with increased scale if prices were brought into line with the competition...
Hello again Graham enjoyed the video on your starlink dish internet in your caravan . does starlink work for watching sky tv ( sky stream ). considering getting starlink roam plan to use away in our motorhome. Great work 👏
Thanks for watching. It does work, as Starlink is just a WiFi that you connect too. I don’t know anything about sky stream, but I remember watching a blog from Bob Earnshaw and he said that it was against skys Ts&Cs to use it outside the home 🤷🏼♂️
I think Graham I stick to my Avtex and works perfect
Thanks for watching BTW I wasn’t trying to sell it to anyone, just showing people 👍🏻
Thanks, you have convinced me that it's not worth the bother! :)
Thanks for watching, I’m glad I save you some money 👍🏻
Interesting vlog, cheers, provided several gasps as we watched it!
As for the Starlink, deffo not for us, TBH so far we've never had a problem with our MiFi & EE.
Thanks for the vlog, good to see you're keeping busy.
Thanks for watching. Deffo not a necessity that’s for sure, especially as you mainly go off grid..
@@CaravanVlogger 👍Was just thinking, I'm sure you've got it covered, but would be good to see an update to see how you & your Mrs are getting on with full-time caravanning mentally & otherwise etc.
looks a nice bit of kit but I couldn't justify it. Thanks for the review
Thanks for watching. I have an interest in technology. I could only justify it as a “hobby” 🥴😆
Just a note on pegging the dish down, honestly you don’t need to worry too much, we’ve been in 65mph winds and it hasn’t budged.
Have you an update on your Starlink use? Is it working out well? If you get partial obstruction, how does it perform? Have you explored temporary mount options for the roof?
I have been mounting it on the roof, just lifting it though a skylight and running the cable through a window. Its been working well. The only downside is the cost
@@CaravanVlogger have you a bracket for the roof or is it just ‘free standing’? I currently have my eye on the new Starlink mini.
@nealeTH free standing on the bracket supplied
@@CaravanVlogger good to know - I’m about hit buy on the Starlink mini
Seems so quick and easy …. 😀
I e been offered a job at Starlink sales team 😂#notSponsored
@@CaravanVlogger I thought I knew what it did until I watched your video 😊 (joke!)
Well, well, well, just missed you Graham, we got back from Carsington Water yesterday. Don’t think Starlink is for us, more equipment to carry, but interesting vlog nevertheless 👍. Cheers Rob & Gail 😀
That’s a shame, no doubt our paths will cross eventually 🤔Hope you had a good time
@@CaravanVlogger 👍👍
Hi There. Just subscribed and liked. please about your video on starlink dish internet away in your caravan with the roam service plan. I heard you mention watching sky sports tv. please can you confirm that the sky tv channels do all work OK on starlink away from home when you are at a campsite. I will be purchasing the starlink system for my motorhome in the UK and have sky stream package useing it at home. thanks kindly. Paul
We use an Apple TV box connect to the tv runs runs apps such as NowTV and Discovery plus which is how I watch sky sports and TNT sports. I don’t subscribe to sky as such
Hi Graham thanks for the video since we are considering this for a campervan. When using TV and the internet how quickly do you go through the 50Gb of data per month allowed with the £50 roaming option. Regards Andy
Hi Andy, I went for unlimited roam
Love my starlink, means I can work reliably from the caravan and have more time away.
We got a 2m pole and mount the dish onto that using the pole adapter they sell, then fix the pole onto the jockey wheel using a clamp. Doesn't completely solve the tree problem but does help
Which poles do you use and adapters? Can you provide link?
Looks super simple 😂😂😂
Haha I was tempted to redo the video, but I’m not trying to sell it to anyone, just showing people how I use it 🥴
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Can I interest you in one 😆
@@CaravanVlogger errrrrrr no think l manage without…. Loving your work 👍
Or you could use Avtex wifi and Smarty sim. £12/ month 125gb and a 1 month contract?
Yes you could and I do use something similar as well. It’s mainly for when there’s no signal, or when in France 🇫🇷
does the pause have to be for complete months or can you apportion it over a few months - as we go away for a week then another next month etc - thanks for the vlog
Thanks for watching. You pay a month in advance and when you pause you don’t pay anything until you restart again as far as I understand 👍🏻 So it’s complete months.
Hi Graham Just looking at plans is that £75 a month service plan
£75 is the residential plan for unlimited data and I use the roam one is £85 (enables you to use it on your travels)
I guess some people could apportion this cost to their business, offsetting this against the multi-million income you get from UA-cam as a famous international celebrity vlogger? 🤣🤣🤣
Compared to the home fibre (150mbps) we have from EE at our house that costs £33 per month it’s not cheap for non-business users.
@theonlywoody2shoes A business expense, that’s a good idea 😂
Call me old fashion but why have they never thought of putting a good old rj45 on the site posts connected to an optical backbone. It's not like site fees are cheap and wouldn't cover costs. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm not a lover of these star things. It normally comes with a bat round the head with something heavy Ally has hold of. Does that one you have come with headache tablets that routes quick 😂😂
Very good point... Definitely time that such connectivity was provided, even if at a relatively small cost. Better than the variable wifi options sometimes available at sites.
Or you could just hot spot off your phone
£1020.00 pa ...no thanks :)
Thanks for watching.
A) You can pause
B) It’s not compulsory
C) I’m not selling anything 😆🤪
