I don't have four+ grand just sitting around to get started with satellite Internet. I spent nearly every penny to my name in order to buy the RV. I was unable to get a loan (banks hate startup founders with spotty income history; even with a mid-700s credit score and up to 40% down, no bank was interested in lending me money), so I had to pay cash and buy an older/smaller coach.<p>I have suspected for a little while now that most the US has good enough WiFi availability that I'll be able to get by without satellite. And, when I have 3G, my phone is an acceptable source of connectivity.
