Thanks Greg, just watched this and placed an order. A 12v conversion was something I was planning on doing for our up coming travels. If you've given it the thumbs up then I know it's good kit. Looking forward to trying it out - especially now one can travel with Starlink on permanently. I was looking at the new Starlink mini but at just a few hundred dollars with the router, it means I can keep running my Gen2 and save a few dollars. Cheers Tony
Just remember that if you are powering directly from your batteries, & you have a shunt in your system. Wire the positive to the battery and the negative to the shunt. This will then be calculated in the battery management system.
Star link looks great for caravan travel especially getting off the main tracks.... Seems like you got about 4 devices, (contraptions) all linked up to make it work though. Would be good if it all went into one system. Man those speeds were so fast.
Yea true Mike there are few bits of kit to make this work, I have purchased Starlink mini which looks good (video out in the near future ) and its just 1 thing you plug into 12 volt. I love the starlink speed Cheers Greg
@@KiwiWanderers I'm looking forward to your Starlink Mini review, both performance and how you mount it. Thanks for the heads-up on the Xtar kit Greg, cheers
Seems like the best option right now but given the atrocious owner of the company, I'd rather go with a slower satellite internet provider than give money to that POS
I love Starlink it enables us to live life full time on the road. great to see companies like these making things for the Rv community.

@@KiwiWanderers cheers mate, I'll look forward to seeing the mini.
Hey Greg,
Why can’t you use the original router as the 12v converter has power out to the router.
Yea you can use any 12 router with this setup. But the original starlink router is mains power only. Thanks for watching cheers Greg
starlink have just increased the cost to $222 per month on roaming
Is this the Merv Joe of Matamata College fame??
yea its one of the disadvantages of no contract... Im still in the coverage and speed is great. Thanks for watching Cheers Greg
