We just returned from a trip around the country and up to Alaska....For too many of those days we were devoid of any contact with the digital world. While at home it cost around 300 bucks a month for cable, internet, and cell phone service........I am thinking I can reduce that cost by going with satellite tv and a different cell service plus a mobile hot spot. I think these options would work great at home but am not sure about how they would work out while traveling. I just need to reduce our costs.......Some real life experiences would be appreciated.....
I am sorry and with all due respect I just have to ask these questions...
Why do you need all of that?
WiFi is available for FREE almost everywhere. Do you really need to be connected ALL of the time?
Do you really need two phones for two people in one camper?
Do you really need the cable/Sat TV?
These are questions I am asking myself as well. I am sure the answer is different for everyone But the questions are worth consideration.
I have decided to try the minimalist approach first, going with virtually none of that except my phone and see what I really miss and decide from there.
Good luck
