Satellites & Receivers

Satellites and receivers can be a great addition to the RV life for those who want to stay connected while on the road. With the right equipment, RVers can access satellite TV programming, high-speed internet, and even GPS navigation services.

To access satellite TV programming in an RV, a satellite dish and receiver are required. There are several options available, including portable dishes that can be set up outside the RV, or roof-mounted dishes that can be permanently installed on the RV. Some RVers may prefer to use a dome-style dish that automatically adjusts to the best signal, while others may opt for a manually-adjustable dish.

For high-speed internet access, RVers can use a satellite modem and dish. These systems can provide internet speeds of up to 25 Mbps, which is more than sufficient for most online activities, including streaming video and browsing the web.

When it comes to GPS navigation, RV-specific GPS receivers can be very helpful. These devices are designed to provide directions that take into account the height, weight, and length of the RV, as well as any restrictions on the roads, such as low bridges or weight limits. This can be very useful for RVers who are traveling in unfamiliar areas.
