The majority of fifth wheel camper grounds
have wifi access. Sometimes via their local ISP (internet service
provider), sometimes through a satellite or microwave connection.

Lately,
however, the advent of cell phone internet sticks (plugging into a USB
port on a computer) are becoming more popular – and for the casual
RVers, so is the idea of “thethering” a blackberry or iphone to a
computer.

Here’s the benefits of using your own cell connection as opposed to the local park’s facilities

- Use it when you want

Tired of having the camper ground internet so slow at peak times that you can’t even open a webmail program?

Because of so many people surfing the web at the same time, this can really bog down resources.

Hooking
up over a cell phone connection is great at times like these, as you’re
not waiting for everyone else to download as well

- You can still do the “heavy lifting” elsewhere

Need to download the 2 hour home movie your cousin sent you?

Or there’s a major software update or program you purchased?

You
can still use nearby “free” resources for the large downloads if it
makes financial and time sense – just get a downloading program that
will allow you to queue your downloads and have them run together (for
example, do a bulk download once a week overnight on the camper
ground’s systems)

- Save money in the long run

This entirely depends on the cost structure of where you are, however most fifth wheel camper ground
internet pricing plans are of the “$25 a month” variety where I’ve
traveled to. This is great if you’re going to be in one place for a
while, however if you’re constantly moving these charges can add up.

Getting
the majority of your internet over a cell connection is a great way to
cut down on these costs – it will also save you precious time not
having to set up a new connection at every location.

- Access Anywhere!

Taking fifth wheel campers far into the wild, with no designated campground? This is a great way to still be able to access the right information!

As long as you have a cell connection where you’re traveling to, you should be able to stay connected!
