We live full-time in our 5th wheel and also run a business needing good internet access. Our RV has an LP generator that we mostly use while traveling on the road, either to keep the RV cool or while stopped at a rest area. Most times we overnight in campgrounds with electric.
We use a Verizon JetPack 4G for our internet service. With traveling all over, we've found pretty good access anywhere we go. Of course, there are remote areas where even cell service is not great. We have determined that Verizon really does have the best coverage for our needs. The jet pack has a very good battery life. At one time, I had another brand of cell service and my husband had Verizon...he always had service, no matter where we were, even walking on a trail in the Great Smoky Mountains N.P. and my cell phone did not. We share the data allotment with our smart phones and the jet pack. It can certainly be expensive in comparison to have home cable internet service. We try to use as much of the Wi-Fi available at campgrounds. However, many times the service is very slow.
There is also a service called Boingo. They have many plans for internet access while traveling. The website is www.boingo.com check it out to see if they have a plan that might better fit your needs. We use it when we are traveling out of the country to find hotspots for use.
