If you're out camping or using your RV, how do you keep in touch with friends and family? If you send postcards, you're definitely behind the times! Messages are not the only reason to be concerned with RV internet access; many people use the internet to watch movies and television, to check up on their finances, and to keep up with the latest news.

 

So how do you get RV internet access when out in the woods or mountains or far from cable wires and telephone lines? There are two easy ways to do this; through wireless internet access or a satellite dish.

 

 

Many campgrounds today offer wireless internet for campers. This means that all you need is a computer with a wireless receiver, which is very common for later models. You can also buy a receiver which plugs into your USB port. Doing so will give you RV internet access as long as you're in range of the wireless signals provided by the campground.

 

 

Your other option for RV internet access is to get a satellite dish which would receive internet signals. Many who have an RV have a satellite dish installed or buy a model with a dish already installed. Having a professional do this is a good idea because you want to make sure that the dish and the RV are both protected! You'll also need to subscribe to a satellite service provider.

 

You can also purchase a portable satellite for campers which would give you RV internet access very easily. A portable dish folds up and typically comes with a tripod to keep it steady. You need to subscribe to a satellite service that provides internet access and your computer will still need a receiver for the signals.

 

Using a satellite dish for campers will also mean you can get satellite television! This means getting email access and internet access as well as never missing your favorite programs or the big game. These options are both popular choices for campers today to get RV internet access while camping.
