I struggled with this for a while and wasted money on some different devices such as a Chromecast which were failures.
By accident I discovered Samsung Smart View which is only available to download for a limited time. It will soon be discontinued but will still work if you get it now.
I then link my tablet with my Fire Stick. Go to settings, display and sounds, and click on "Enable Display Mirroring. Open Smart View on your tablet and make the connection.
I download shows when internet is available and then play them on the television later.
"Struggling"...This is exactly what I'm trying avoid myself.
As an experiment I was able to cast my tablet using Mirrorshare to an android box receiver running Miracast connected to my home TV HDMI port.
I did some more sniffing around and it appears that once the Fire Stick is paired to the broadcasting device (tablet), network (internet/wifi/router) access is not required to cast/mirror. So I took the plunge and ordered a Fire Stick. I will be able to use the stick at home, so if it doesn't work in the RV (with no network access), then this exercise is not a complete loss.
I will update the thread here with what actually happens...the good, bad and the ugly.
