RV WIFI
We are getting ready to invest in a Class A pusher and want wifi to work while on road. What is the preferred method? Thank you in advance.

Advantage of dedicated hotspot is doesn't tie up the phone, runs longer on the battery.
For remote locations with marginal cell service we have a weboost cell booster. Doesn't cover everywhere but give us coverage in probably 90% of the places we are.
Historically, we have used cell with campground wifi where it's available and usable (it does seem to be getting better).
The phone being tied up or running out of battery is a non-issue as we just put it on the charger while in use and we can take calls while the hotspot is in operation.
But times are changing...starting this coming summer, we are looking to switch to starlink. For not much more than an unlimited cell plan, you get faster service and it eliminates most of the cell coverage issues. You do have to have a clear view of the sky but if you are down at the bottom of a heavily forested valley, you probably aren't getting cell coverage anyway.
Then we will drop the cell plans back to something cheap like 5GB/month to cover us while we are in motion.
