Internet in your RV, without the research project.
Shopping for this usually means becoming an expert: which router, which antenna fits it, which cables, then a data plan on top. We already did that part. Everything you need arrives in one box — and the data is something you turn on when you need it, not a bill that runs whether you roll or not.
What do you actually need? Three things.
Strip away the jargon and every mobile internet setup on earth is the same three jobs.
Something to catch the signal
Our antenna — with the 5G modem living inside it, outside where the signal is strong, instead of buried in a box in your rig losing strength down a cable. This is our main thing, and it's why there's no antenna aisle to agonise over.
Something to share it around
Our router. Cellular, Starlink and campground WiFi all plug into it, and it switches between them automatically. One app shows you signal, speed, and what's connected.
Data to run it on
A plan store, right in the app. Unlimited, by-the-gig, or by-the-day. Turn plans on, off, up or down yourself — no phone call, no store visit, no contract.
The usual way
Buy a router. Research which antenna works with it. Order cables and a mount from a third brand. Then go find a data plan that fits the hardware. Four purchases, a compatibility chart, and a weekend of forum reading.
Ours
One order. One box. The pieces were chosen for each other by people who live in an RV, and the app walks you through the ten-minute setup. If you get stuck, you message us and a real person replies.
Market figures are typical published prices for comparable 5G gear, not a quote from any one company — shop your own basket and check us. Our numbers are exact: LITE $349, Explorer $649, with an Insty data plan.
Data you use when you need it. Unheard of, honestly.
The industry sells mobile internet one way: a big monthly plan that runs whether your rig moves or not. We built the other way.
Their model
Typical unlimited data plans for this kind of gear run $165–$199 a month — January in the driveway priced the same as July on the road. The plan doesn't care whether you went anywhere. You pay for the year to use the summer.
Our model
On-Demand: $10 a month holds your spot on the network, then $4 a day — only on the days you're actually out there. Tap it on in the app at the campsite, or let it turn itself on as a backup. Nobody else sells a daily plan. We checked.
That month costs $34. Not $165.
The actual switch. It's in the app.
Travel more than that? Pick a bigger plan — in the app, in a minute.
No contracts on any of them. Move between plans yourself in the app's plan store — the system is eSIM-capable, so we can set up plans for you anytime, anywhere, with nothing in the mail. If your rig sits still more than it rolls, the On-Demand page works out your own number.
When you should build it from parts instead
We'd rather tell you now than take an order that comes back. There are real cases where piecing it together yourself is the right call.
→ You need enterprise routing
Bonded multi-WAN across several modems, SD-WAN policy routing, a fleet managed centrally. That's a different class of hardware and it's worth what it costs. We build for one rig, done well.
→ You want a specific brand ecosystem
If your installer builds on one platform and supports it well, that relationship has real value. We'll just say: most RVers never touch the features they're paying for.
Northeast Iowa, about 25 miles from the tower
Nick was parked in a spot with essentially nothing — the nearest tower roughly 25 miles away as the crow flies. The Binoculars antenna he'd built pulled it in. Standing in that same spot, he swapped in a $400 name-brand antenna off Amazon to compare. It wouldn't even connect.
Those antennas got built out of pure need, before Starlink existed, so travellers could connect where they never had. That's the part of this we didn't outsource — and it's the reason the modem lives out in the antenna instead of inside a box.

One system. Two ways in.
Same router, same app, same data plans, same failover. Explorer steps up the hardware: a PoE cable that runs 150 ft, a modem that reaches the highest-frequency 5G bands, and it's the one that takes our long-range antennas.
Insty Connect LITE
- USB from the antenna, up to 30 ft — one cable, plug it in
- Qualcomm X55 5G modem, in the antenna
- Real-world speeds around 40–200 Mbps
- The perfect Starlink sidekick — automatic backup when the dish drops
- Upgrade to Explorer later; your plans and app come with you
Insty Connect Explorer
- PoE gigabit ethernet, up to 150 ft — put the antenna anywhere
- Qualcomm X62 5G modem — the highest-frequency 5G bands
- Real-world speeds around 50–500 Mbps
- Takes the long-range Rocket and 5G Binoculars antennas
- Can run into your own router if you'd rather
The things people actually ask
The honest version: $10 a month holds your spot whether you travel or not — use it zero days in January and January costs $10. A day runs to midnight, and taxes put it around $4.59 on the bill. And if you're out more than about half the month, every month, Unlimited at $79 is simply the better deal — the app will happily let you switch to it. That's the whole catch. There's a full page with a cost calculator if you want to run your own numbers.
Two reasons, and neither is a corner we cut. First, we build the antenna and put the modem inside it ourselves — that's the piece most companies buy from a third party and resell at a markup, and it's usually the biggest line on your invoice. Second, we sell direct — no dealer margin, because you're buying from the family that made it.
What you're not getting is a rack of enterprise routing features built for managing sites across a company. If you need those, buy them — we said so further up the page. For one rig on the road, they're features you pay for and never open.
No — and this trips people up, because everywhere else you do. The antenna comes with the system, and the 5G modem lives inside it. You pick which when you build: the Window antenna is included at no extra cost and mounts inside at a window with no drilling, or go outdoor with the Square or Drum for +$30. The long-range Rocket ($199) and 5G Binoculars ($399) exist for tower-chasers — most people never need them.
There's a plan store in the app. Open it, pick the plan, done — the system is eSIM-capable, so we can set up plans for you anytime, anywhere, with nothing arriving in the mail. Summer on Unlimited, winter on pause at $5/mo, a random February trip on $4 days. No phone calls, no contracts, no waiting.
With the Explorer, yes — its PoE ethernet runs straight into your own router, and the antenna and modem still do the heavy lifting; you just lose the router-side features in our app. The LITE connects over USB, so it needs our router. If keeping your setup matters, Explorer is the one.
It's built to. Starlink plugs into our router and stays your primary; the cellular sits underneath and takes over automatically when the dish drops — trees, weather, obstructions. Put On-Demand under it and a paid day only starts when the backup actually kicks in. There's a whole page on that setup.
Real-world, Explorer runs about 50–500 Mbps and LITE about 40–200 Mbps — ranges, not promises, because signal, tower load and your plan all move the number. Both are far more than enough for video calls and streaming.
Us. Usually one of the family. We're a small U.S. company that builds this in our own shop, so the person reading your message is the person who made the thing — that's not a support tier we're selling you, it's just how many of us there are. Send us a message and see how fast someone real replies.
One box. Data when you need it. Done.
Pick your system, pick your antenna, pick a plan you can change your mind about. Takes about two minutes.
