RV FEATURE
INTERNET ANYWHERE

VANCONNECT 5G
There are , however , other ways to access the internet when you ’ re travelling in your van . One of those we have touched on before : VanConnect . This product has been on the market for about three years but is now compatible with the 5G network , as well as 4G – it automatically switches between the two .
Essentially , VanConnect is an internet router powered by your van ’ s 12V system . Wherever there ’ s a 4G or 5G signal , you ’ ll be able to hop online .
“ The key to getting reliable internet in your caravan is to have the best possible connection to the Telstra or Optus towers ,” Evert Smit of Cowfish Technologies told GoRV . “ The external antenna that comes with VanConnect is state of the art , which sets it apart from other products . It operates well beyond what your mobile phone can achieve in terms of the signal it can receive . For example , in areas where your phone might drop out , or struggle with slow internet , VanConnect can still pull in a signal and provide a wi-fi network .”
