We recorded the whole podcast at a beautiful spot in Florida. We're in the Emerald Coast area, overlooking the water. It was gorgeous. Beautiful day. And the wind noise was so bad. It is un-usable. So we retreated to the inside of the RV where we are now, we got about a quarter way through the second time.

And our dog decided that he had a lot to say, and he just went on a barking spree. So it took us three times to get this podcast done.

What RVers Are Thinking - Big news this week - Starlink

We got our Starlink system from SpaceX Starlink.

We got our Starlink system from SpaceX Starlink. Of course, the very high-speed internet system that Elon Musk is building with a constellation of these low orbiting earth satellites.

It took what, 10 minutes to set it up. Not long at all. And it's awesome. We'll have lots more videos about this. We're going to kind of do a little permanent system here in the RV and we'll show you what that's like when we get it done, but just great results so far.

But the news part of it was no sooner than we finished that.

We got a note saying that they had raised the price on Starlink and we skated in because we had ordered it six days before we got it delivered. And the day that we said. Starlink went from $499, which is what we paid for the system to $599. They raised it a hundred bucks cause of inflation.

We got our service, which we originally contracted for $99 a month. Now they've raised that to $110. We'll have to pay that. I'm fine with that because it's system is so fast.

We'll have a lot more to talk about, and we've got a couple of questions about it and some comments coming up in the next segment, but some other feedback that we have, we want to share with you.
