Will be living FT in my motorhome and wanted to ask about internet and your ability to Skype. Do you have any problems with power to your desktop and the ability to get online and Skype perhaps?
Hi Twomoreau, check out the RV Internet thread for some related answers to internet options: https://www.pippenings.com/rv-living/rv-motorhome-life-forum/topic/internet-on-the-road/
As far as Skyping, if you are using a cellular data plan you’ll need a fast enough speed to Skype, or if you will be staying put you can get a cable or DSL connection from your parking spot, like in an RV park.
You can expect most RV parks to have free wi-fi nowadays though you can’t always rely on a good connection to it.
Talking about desktop power, if you are boondocking you will need to run all AC powered electronics and appliances through an inverter to convert them to DC. Older RVs often have converters vs inverters. If this is the case, while boon docking you will not be able to run your traditional (non RV) electronics.
If you are plugged into shore power (like at a park, or someone’s house…city electricity) then you can run all your electronics and appliances just fine.
