i.ve had starlink on my motorhome for 18 months now,fulltime..Canada to Arizona and back,expensive yes but never a problem where ever i have been,we of course have the roam package bye....
Well, every campsite here has WiFi, and most have 4G, and I use a Garmin Sat Nav with a Backup of using Waze as a Sat Nav on my Mobile Phone. Whilst it does require forward planning for parking enroute, this is no biggy, yes people use Starlink here, but I've never had a situation where I've not had sufficient connectivity for WiFi/4G when required, and there's literally nowhere on a road in the UK where 2G is unavailable for telephony, or 3G/4G/5G for my Mobile Broadband. That may change when I tour South West Scotland in Late July SWC300 for 8 days, and Late August North Coast Scotland NC500 for 14 days. At the moment the Rolling Monthly Contract SIM I use in my 4G Hub can be varied each month from £6 to £35 per month, or simply switched off for a month at a time. I can't actually justify the capital and rental costs for Starlink at this time whilst touring the UK, but that may change when we tour the Republic of Ireland, Iceland, or the rest of the European Mainland using a Ferry or Channel Tunnel.
Same could be said in south eastern Canada with lots of coverage but BC is insanely mountainous and in some places so very sparsely populated that there are big dead zones. Canada: 9,984,670 square kilometers (sq km) United Kingdom: 243,610 sq km Canada is roughly 41 times larger than the United Kingdom. Canada's population is estimated to be around 41 million The UK's population is closer to 68 million. So, the UK has roughly 27 million more people than Canada.
Great review, answer all my questions
Great overview! Amazing times we live in. I had Hughes Net in the past for the RV and remote domicile...no comparison.

Yeah not cheap but when our Canadian phones go into overage mode, it adds up quick! Plus the security factor makes it worth it
Was interested to see your GPS showing Ks and not MLS. It seems Metric is slowly sneeking into the USA. Enjoy your show
All the best Bluey 🇦🇺🇺🇲🤠
As a dual citizen my brain prefers km in Canada and I switch to the imperial system when I cross the border south. I speak both languages lol

So do u use star link at your residence too? 🍻
No I have 1Gb Telus Fibre at home.
5:36 The roof of the cabin of your truck seems large enough to install far enough solar panels to feed the battery, probably for less than 200 USD.
I agree entirely. I may get my hands on some flexible panels. That would be great!!!
Also next season I may upgrade to the new 12 volt generation.
