Hi ShaunaH,
How much speed do you need?
How much data do you need?
It is quite possible to have reliable internet while traveling, but it may not be inexpensive to do so.
If you are on facebook, look for this group:
Internet for RV'ers It is run by some folks who call themselves "technomadia". Here is a link:

Another issue is power. Campgrounds are not inexpensive so if you plan to camp off the grid, you may need to find a way to generate power inexpensively. One of the better ways to do so is using solar panels. For my further thoughts on this surf here:

Expect to have a good reserve fund for repairs. RV's are complex and do break. Since the RV may become your home, getting it fixed becomes a priority.
I'm actually already in discussions with the folks at technomadia, I will probably be hiring them for a custom consult also. I have budgeted several hundred dollars a month for internet access.
I do need to do some more research on appropriate reserve funds, any good links/resources you recommend?
