PPL Motor Homes

We have used the Autonet Mobile WiFi system for some months now in an RV travelling under varying conditions. The most interesting usage happened while driving on an Interstate highway in a ‘driving’ rainstorm (no pun intended). We were able to fire up the laptop and connect to a weather radar site to see how extensive this storm was along our intended path. And it’s been very helpful to consult the internet for maps, points of interest, campgrounds, restaurants, and gas stops along the way. We found that campgrounds that offer WiFi sometimes do not have the coverage to include all of their campsites and it was necessary to go to the office or rec hall to get a signal. Since usage is based on the wireless phone network, coverage can sometimes be spotty to non-existent. We have configured our unit with a cigarette lighter plug, rather than hard wire it in, so as to have portability. It typically rides on the dashboard of the RV, but when we are parked in an area with little or no coverage, we can take the Autonet with us in our towed vehicle and go to an area with adequate coverage. When not on the road and operating from home, the Autonet can be used in any vehicle. Overall we find this unit a very handy item to have along to enjoy internet access from the convenience of your own vehicle.
