Starlink Mini is on sale for very limited time

Starlink and RVing for some is a “natural.” No matter where your RV takes you, you’ll be able to stay connected to the internet—even while in motion. But some have been put off by the high cost of the hardware. Starlink’s Mini dish, required for in-motion connectivity, normally retails for $599. But for a short time, VERY SHORT, you can pick up the hardware for $299.

Buy it from SpaceX or get the Starlink Mini on sale locally

Starlink Mini saleHow short is short? Starlink started the gang-buster deal late last week. The big fire sale runs through Wednesday, May 28. You can order one through SpaceX, Starlink’s parent company, or you can buy them at local retailers. The advantage of buying from a retailer is you won’t have to wait for delivery, and some make returns a whole lot easier.

So where can you buy local?

• Best Buy

• Home Depot

• Target

• Walmart

For RVers, powering the Mini dish shouldn’t be too much of a problem. While it doesn’t have a battery, and needs power, it operates on a DC input voltage of 12 to 48 volts. If you want to get really mobile and, say, go hiking with it, you’ll need to carry a suitable power supply.

Is it for you?

You may be wondering about the fine print in the contract. How much will it cost on a monthly basis? What if I don’t like it? Can I turn it off when not using it? Click here for the fine details. 

You may find that this is a service you can really use. If so, the Starlink Mini sale may be just what you’re looking for.

Russ and Tiña went from childhood tent camping to RVing in the 1980s when the ground got too hard. They've been tutored in the ways of RVing (and RV repair) by a series of rigs, from truck campers, to a fifth-wheel, and several travel trailers. In addition to writing scores of articles on RVing topics, they've also taught college classes for folks new to RVing. They authored the book, RV Boondocking Basics.

Thank you, Russ and Tina, for news of the sale. Must be a great thing for those requiring a robust internet connection. Happily, we exited that group more than 7 years ago. (Wow! We’ve been retired for SEVEN years?!?) Have a great day and safe travels!
