Any software devs, working from their RV?
Hello, I am a software dev, and looking at doing the fulltime RV thing. I have a lot of questions. Is this is a possible thing with the current mobile internet offerings. (PLEASE Starlink hurry...

I think there are many out there that do full or part-time work while RV'ing. I've learned to never rely on free campground Wifi, except that parks that have paid Wifi. I haven't found any free campground Wifi with internet service as good as I can get via cell -- I use a Wifi repeater and even when I have perfect Wifi signal, the campground Wifi is usually so oversubscribed that it's nearly useless for any interactive work.
When I'm on-call and know I have to be online, I check campground reviews to make sure cell coverage is good. I have an unlimited AT&T SIM, and in the summer when I'm traveling more, I also set up a pre-paid 16GB plan from Verizon in case AT&T isn't available.
Don't count on Starlink for the next year or so, I haven't seen any announcement for when (or even if) they will provide mobile service. Maybe when they get more satellites launched they'll allow mobile use, but for now, service is locked to a single cell (which is around 15 miles wide).
