HAWTHORNE, Calif. (SpaceX PR) — Starlink is now offering Starlink for RVs at any destination where Starlink provides active coverage. At this time, there is no waitlist – all orders will be shipped shortly after the order is placed, including to “Waitlist” areas on the Starlink Availability Map.  

Users can expect high speed, low latency internet in areas marked “Available”, and notably slower speeds during events with many collocated users, or during hours of peak usage in areas marked as “Waitlist”,  where residential users are prioritized.  Prioritizing residential makes it possible to offer Starlink for RVs immediately with minimal impact to the most loaded portions of the network.  

Users can pause and un-pause service at any time. You can order directly at Starlink.com/rv.  

Starlink for RVs is not meant for use while in-motion. To learn more about Starlink for RVs, please read our FAQ page or updated Terms of Service.

    The no “in-motion” thing sucks. That means you can’t use the internet in your RV while your partner is driving, and vice versa.

      Eased by the ability to do that mobile service on a month by month; started the month before you decide to take a vacation, suspend it after. Take your home dish to your vacation home, eliminating the need for two dishes and concerns about the one in the second home being damaged or stolen.

      Sounds like a very good safety feature. Of course if Elon Musk did provide that option folks would be saying he is creating a safety hazard.

        They’ll be in the NASCAR infields soon enough…already infested with “evil smelling, beer-swilling, foul-mouthed shirtless drunks…..and their husbands.”

    Once of those days they’ll also get around inventing customer support

    Wonder if this will also work on semi-trucks…

    Expect to be disappointed.
