On the case of newer phones having more bands to work with. One problem few seem to consider, while the newest phone may be able to access the newest bands which have the fewest users accessing them. They always seem to be in urban or congested areas, where you can get a signal with ANY phone.
Very seldom will a provider place the newest technology out in remote areas where we have the most trouble getting signals and bandwidth.
That is quite true..Where I live was one of the last spots Verizon put in a tower..A little town of 3K with one stop light, didn't appeal to them for the longest time..5g here,probably not in my lifetime..
I keep my old rooted Motorola Nexus 6 up to date with a Lineage OS just in case one of our newer phones see's the pavement or quits..I use it as a hotspot rather than my Verion Mifi..Just change sim cards and it's ready to go..For some reason I just can't get warm with the Mifi..But I keep it around just in case.
Lot's of options for the op to live and work in an RV..Many folks do it with hotspots/Mifi's and there laptops/tablets...
