    Starlink for RV's

    Its official, you can now buy a Starlink kit for your Outback Touring rig and Pay as You go.
    That is a game changer.

    Starlink

    Ive fitted my Starlink into the roof of my truck , & it works flawlessly , even on the move, but my Account is a Home Account and at this time there is no option to cancel / resume service as required or migrate to a RV account.
    The new dish is rectangle , so I'll have to fix the hole in my roof and figure out a new mount.

    Only bottom half of Australia is covered at the moment but that will change as more sats are deployed. Each time I look at the map it covers more land area.

    I have an TP_Link access point in a pipe which can be raised on back of truck which gives a good 250m -300m of coverage around camp , only issue is don't camp under tree cover .

    Hmmm, I've got plenty of real estate on the roof of my motor home...

    Edit - Not for $174 a month though...

    it is expensive, but you only pay (by the month) as you use it, pause service when you get home, then resume for next trip.

    Thanks - I didn't see that shown anywhere - the website is surprisingly light on with detail. I just went to order it and it gave me a list of hardware, etc then the price per month.

    Starlink Use in Motion is not an official feature (at the moment) , To enable it you need to disable the motors & mount horizontal .

    The previous USA Terms and Conditions expressly forbid use in motion & voids warranty , The Australian T & C never mentioned use in motion, The Use in motion clause has now been removed from the USA T&C , Starlink seems to be very progressive and adopts a lot of user group suggestions, details & options are very fluid.

    To mount the rectangle dish horizontal for use in motion does require a degree of hacking, literally .
    most people use as intended, set up at camp on the supplied tripod mount . The old Round dish was easier as it could be easily deconstructed, not so much the new rectangle one.

    here are some images of mount ideas from the ESIM (Earth station in motion) user group.
    the one in the thule style rooftop box would be easy if you already carry one of those things.

    It says 'Coming soon' to the other bit of Oz, so that's the sales pitch.
