Just received:

If you are receiving this email, you are currently on the waitlist for Starlink in your area. We are launching additional satellites as quickly as we can to expand network capacity in your region, and will fulfill your order as soon as possible.

In the meantime, we are now offering Starlink for RVs at any destination where Starlink provides active coverage. Currently there is no waitlist - all orders will be shipped shortly after the order is placed, including to "Waitlist" areas on the Starlink Availability Map. You can pause and un-pause service at any time.

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.

You can order Starlink for RVs directly from www.starlink.com/rv or by selecting the "+" button under "Your Starlinks" on your account page. To learn more about Starlink for RVs, please read our FAQ page.

Thank you for being a supporter of Starlink!

The Starlink team

Whenever they have full coverage I wonder how well it would work to just have the RV set up to use at home then just bring it with you when you go camping.

It would be very handy for tailgating for sure.

I got the email also. $599 for dish, $50 ship/handling, $135/mo. My account still says Mid 2022. If that's a true statement then I personally wouldn't have a ton of need for the rv setup.

It's the same dish. Portability, which adds the roaming feature, is $25 a month, which can be enabled and disabled as needed. The RV option which is $135 ($110 home service + $25 portability) allows those not in an open cell to order a Starlink kit right away. Once your home cell opens you should be able to set that as your home address and turn off the portability feature until it is needed again. I believe this is how it works.

In late April, my Mid 2022 date changed to June 2022. I’m hoping to get going soon.

Mine arrives in 10 days..
You can turn off portability when you receive your dish and turn it on again when you go camping. Can't hardly wait.

Does anyone know what kind of cable runs from the dish into house? I currently have att fixed wireless and am trying to determine if I can use the same cable or will I have to rerun a new cable if I get starlink. Supposedly it will be available to me in 2023 but i might try this rv dish if it would be an easy swap using same cables. Thanks a lot for any input
