How can I get reliable WiFi in my motorhome?
A mobile WiFi router with a data SIM is one of the most reliable ways to stay connected on the road.For consistent WiFi while travelling, most motorhome owners opt for a 4G or 5G mobile router paired with a data SIM card. These routers work much like your phone does, they connect to mobile networks and broadcast a private WiFi signal inside your motorhome.
Many systems also allow for external antennas or signal boosters, helping you stay connected even in more remote locations. This setup gives you control over your connection and is usually more reliable than campsite WiFi or relying on public hotspots.
Is mobile data better than campsite WiFi?
Yes, mobile data is usually faster, more secure, and more reliable than campsite WiFi.
Is mobile data better than campsite WiFi?
Yes, mobile data is usually faster, more secure, and more reliable than campsite WiFi.While many campsites offer WiFi, it’s often slow, overloaded, or limited to specific areas like reception or a communal lounge. Mobile data gives you consistent coverage wherever your motorhome is parked, from wild camping spots to busy campgrounds.
With your own system, you’re not sharing bandwidth with dozens of other guests, and you can enjoy secure access to your online banking, streaming services, or work tools without relying on weak or inconsistent public connections.
What’s the best WiFi setup for travelling across the UK or Europe?
A 4G/5G mobile router with a roaming SIM is the most flexible option for UK and European travel.
What’s the best WiFi setup for travelling across the UK or Europe?
A 4G/5G mobile router with a roaming SIM is the most flexible option for UK and European travel.If you’re travelling across borders, look for a data SIM plan that includes EU roaming or get a multi-network SIM that automatically switches to the strongest local signal. These SIMs are ideal for travel across the UK and Europe, where coverage varies between countries.
Pairing this with a quality mobile router ensures you’re not dependent on campsite WiFi or tethering from your phone. Some routers also allow for dual-SIM functionality, which is useful for switching between providers as you travel.
Do I need a signal booster or external antenna?
An external antenna or signal booster can significantly improve reception in remote or low-signal areas.
Do I need a signal booster or external antenna?
An external antenna or signal booster can significantly improve reception in remote or low-signal areas.If you’re heading off the beaten path, a rooftop-mounted external antenna can make a big difference by pulling in weak mobile signals that your router alone might not catch. These are especially useful in rural areas, forests, or mountainous regions.
Some setups also include MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) antennas, which further improve speed and stability. While not essential for every trip, they’re a great investment if you frequently camp off-grid or struggle with mobile coverage.
How much data do I need for streaming, browsing, or working remotely?
Most users need around 50–100GB per month for moderate streaming and browsing, but heavy use may require more.
How much data do I need for streaming, browsing, or working remotely?
Most users need around 50–100GB per month for moderate streaming and browsing, but heavy use may require more.Streaming video is the biggest data user for example, Netflix in HD can use around 3GB per hour. If you’re working remotely, browsing the web, or attending video calls, your usage can also add up quickly.
Many travellers choose unlimited or high-data SIM plans (100GB+ per month) to avoid running out, especially if they’re on longer trips. It’s always better to overestimate your needs if you want a worry-free experience.

“We arrived at Llanfyllin, and it was raining so hard it was difficult to find our plot. Once parked up, it took just 90 seconds as we let our automatic levelling system get us level. Thank you, Bristol Caravans, for fitting our amazing levelling system.”
