Links to Mobile Internet Setups
Over the years we have met many RVers and cruisers who have created differing mobile internet arsenals to satisfy their specific needs.
We don’t recommend just copying another blogger’s setup without really assessing if their needs are close enough to yours.
And besides, this stuff changes so often that you really need to look at what the current options are. Even stuff 6 months old can be outdated now.
But looking at the setups of others can be super helpful in understanding how this stuff comes together.
Here are links to RVers and cruisers who have shared their own mobile internet setups on their websites:

Mobile Internet is a changing entity, with new products and plans hitting the market constantly. Life is also a changing entity, and for some nomads, life has lead them to new adventures - some of which no longer involve the use of mobile internet.
Other times, our nomadic brethren have just chosen to no longer keep their mobile internet set-up page up-to-date.
This is where we let no longer updated, and out-of-date set-ups live.

Summary: Find What Works For You
Seeing what other RVers and boaters are doing for their internet needs can be helpful, but remember there is no "one size fits all" solution. Everyone's individual circumstances are different, so be sure to understand your own unique needs when building your own personal setup.
We have created a guide to help you better understand why there is no one-size-fits-most solution to mobile internet, but that will help you better approach your setup so that you can successfully create an arsenal to support your personal needs and style.
