Works amazing and amazing it works at all.

Out of Spec, mostly EV You Tube Channels used one in motion on a few extended EV road test live streams with success and it caught our interest.

Out of Spec simply placed it on the EVs package tray under the back window, good to go streaming for hours, miles and miles.

Used it on our recent lap around the Southwest road trip and it was exceptional.

Wife did her zoom meetings, I watched TV and we used our phones. Fast and flawlessly.

At the house used the Magic Jack (remember those) to keep the “deck phone” at wife’s request and our old phone number.

Good size storm has been over head for the past two days and no interruption in service whatsoever.

Took under an hour to set it all up.
so easy - barely any instructions included.

One on the house for the kids while we’re away, and the mini for road trips.

Our ATT internet/Direct TV and home phone bill just rolled over $300.26.
Cancelled.

Now we pay about $220 and have added it to the RV for a bonus.
Streams flawlessly.

With the fires and high winds here, in a 5 mile radius around our home the power was off for several days at a time.

We let neighbors use the Starlink and our EV charger and our chest freezer. We’re on Solar/powerbank.

Musk brags 50 people can use our Starlink simultaneously. Seems so.

I thought I knew that username, but I know I've seen that doggo from when I had my x3.
A co-worker uses the mini on his motorohome, his kids play Roblox un-interupted for hours on the drive to where ever they camp outl

We just ordered a new Brinkley travel trailer and I'd be interested in more information about your Starlink mini ladder mount setup. I got the mini a couple months ago and agree it works amazing.

RV ladder flag mount Amazon:

I used a length of 1" PVC with a 1 1/4" slip X Slip fitting on the end to extend it and it fit a bit better in the mount.
Not snug but good enough.

I use a 4 step kitchen ladder with the RV ladder when reaching up to put it in/remove it. Steady 2 feet to free my hands.

Ya don’t want to drop it or take a tumble off the RV ladder and leave your holiday where ya land.

BTW: Consider disc brakes if the option is available for your Brinkman.
Best option we ever bought.
The industry has finally pretty much perfected it.

Nice doggles!
Absolutely essential if you take your Scout off-road and the dog sticks it's head out the windows. Rock flying galore in every kind'a terrain.

I get beaned just sitting in the driver seat at 5 MPH

Hope to have some regional meet ups with Scout forum members and we explore some trails together.

Aircraft crash sites, mines, historical spots, Intaglios, scenery. fun trails.
In the USA it's endless off highway fun.

A treat for one of the descendants of Wyatt Earps mines mules.

Speaking of power outages, an incredible amount of miles range can be put on the EV with just a gallon of gas:


Inverter generator with a clean sine wave is essential IMHO.
