Stationary RV Living MUST HAVE Essentials & Upgrades
I finally made a list of all our Stationary RV Living MUST HAVES including essentials, accessories, gadgets we use, and upgrades made to both the travel trailer, as well as, the RV lot we stay on! Keep in mind, we have been RV living stationary NOT Moving in the same spot, same RV Park for 5 years. However, We used to have a motorhome and sold it since we were staying stationary more during the “pandemic”. Then we decided to buy a travel trailer which was more fitting for our RV lifestyle needs! We also bought an RV van so that we could travel more quickly in. Not to mention we have 5 fur babies (4 dogs + 1 cat) that travel with us so technically we bought the RV van so that they could come along aka van life! So YES we have 2 RVs!
However, our entire “Stationary RV set-up” is designed to MOVE, in case we need to! So nothing is permanent, just put in place so we don’t have to worry about it when we decide to take off in the van on a trip or back to the condo in the city. The RV sits on a lake in Alabama and is always ready to just pull up and use there is nothing to set up. Think of it more like a house but it’s a travel trailer we call it the “Lake House” sometimes if we want to sound fancy or the trailer park when we feel like fitting in. In case you missed it I shared Behind The Scenes of a Day in my Stationary RV Life where you can see how I use a lot of these RV accessories!
Stationary NOT Permanent RV Accessories
So technically many of these items you might still travel with in your RV, but some are not items I personally would plan to drag around with me. Every RVer is different! I see RVers carrying grills, chairs, kayaks, and anything else you can think of for short RV trips — again NOT something I would do. My RV life is simple, set up is seamless, and has taken time to perfect but it’s EASY to replicate, customize, and create the same type of RV lifestyle for your wants, needs, dreams, etc…
P.S. In case you missed it… I shared most of my “Indoor” RV space-saving solutions in a prior post. so most of this list below incorporates a lot of my “outdoor” Stationary RV Essentials, Accessories, Solutions, And Upgrades we’ve made while Living at the RV Park! But not all of them… Some items are indoor/outdoor and I’ve included some of our Stationary RVing Pet Essentials since we RV with Cats and dogs! Plus they are the reason for a lot of these items on our list!
Be sure to SAVE THIS POST as I’m constantly updating it as we make adjustments to our Stationary RV Life!
Before I forget I’ve put all these ideas and more into my Ultimate Stationary RV living guide!
Stationary RV Living Must Haves:
RV Hook-Up Essentials:
When it comes to living stationary in your RV you still hook up your RV a lot of the same way you would if you were traveling overnight or for short periods of time but some things depend on your type of RV and set-up. Other things have to do with the season or the RV park itself. These are all the basics for how we hook-up our Travel Trailer to water, sewer, power, and propane while living stationary in an RV Park!
These are all of our Stationary RV Hookup Essentials for getting water, sewer, power, and propane!
RV Water Hook-Up Accessories
Our RV water hook-up is fairly simple. It does not change much through the year unless we get to below-freezing temps! We have two water hoses we keep plugged and hooked up. One for the freshwater we use in the RV and the other for external things like washing the RV, rinsing off outdoor gear, putting out the fire, filling the blow-up hot tub, (ya know normal RV Park-type outdoor activities). Which means we have a dual water faucet connector head with two hoses. We keep one hose for the fresh water which is “supposedly” good for Zero Degree Temperatures. It has frozen up on me and I have never been in zero-degree temps in this RV!
We also have a water pressure regulator which has an adjustable gauge. But we used to have a standard psi set RV water pressure regulator. Although we have to replace these every time it freezes, or just every once in a while as they stop working. FYI if you’re water pressure is low in your RV first thing to check is the water pressure at the RV Parks water faucet. If that is working then next If you take off the water pressure regulator and get water without it on then that lets you know your regulator is bad and needs to be replaced. I also always turn off the water if we are leaving the RV for more than a day. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve “discovered” water leaks in my RVs so I just have a habit of turning everything off when we leave.
>> Heated Water Hose (for below-freezing temps)
>> Zero Degree Water hose for normal RV everyday usage
>> Regular Water Hose for everything else outside the RV
>> Double Water hose faucet head connector with shut-off valves
>> Water Pressure Regulator (adjustable)
RV Sewer Set-Up
Our Stationary RV Sewer set-up changed a little between the motorhome vs travel trailer since we now have two bathrooms plus wash and dryer hookups. This means we have more holding tanks which also means more tanks to dump! I counted 5 handles we have to pull outside and two sewer lines! Even though we keep our RV stationary we still go outside and empty our tanks every few days depending on how much we use the water (shower, wash dishes, toilets, etc…)
We do not have a washer and dryer currently (we do laundry at my Mom’s house who lives close by or we go to a laundry mat if need be). And in case you were wondering NO we never look at our control panel gauges as they don’t accurately read in any RV so we just know to empty the tanks. Otherwise, we remember when the shower or toilet fills up which rarely happens but it has happened if we forget. I also make sure to dump the tanks before we leave the RV meaning for an extended period just out of habit so everything is fresh and clean when we come back. So currently we have two two hoses one 10 ft and one 20 foot (two 10 ft) along with our sewer hose support system.
I already know you’re going to ask: do we put things like tank treatment in the RV every time or flush the tanks etc…? Yes and no! I usually put things like Dawn Dish Soap in the toilet, or every once in a while, we will put RV holding tank treatment in both tanks. Do we have it and do we use it every once in a while yes! Do we use RV holding tank treatment every time we dump NO!
Permanent RV Sewer Pipes Disclaimer:
Also, some people who are stationary RV Living install PERMANENT PIPES on their RV meaning they cut PVC pipes and almost glue them (or fix them) to their RV. I think this is disgusting and I would never do this to my RV (even though we have had to replace our sewer hoses I can’t tell you how many times) I think these permanent PVC pipes look trashy and trailer parkish even though technically we live in a trailer park!) I just mean low in class or taste maybe? But weirdly enough some RV parks FORCE you to have them! However, keep in mind if you have one your RV warranty might be VOIDED if you use these and have a problem. Another thing I learned after a conversation with my RV insurance provider RV Insurance might NOT cover your RV ~ these are considered PERMANENT Fixtures depending on your policy! So if you ever have to file a claim and these are attached to your RV consider if they will pay your claim!
NEVER leave your pipes and handles open!
Regardless of what type of RV set-up you have temporary or permanent NEVER Leave your RV tanks open regardless! Some people leave their handles open all the time, I would not do this for many reasons but mostly because of the poo poo tower that builds in your RV holding tank and in your sewer line. But also “things” can creep back up your sewer line and into your RV!
RV Electric Hook-Up Essentials
Our Travel Trailer and Motorhome home were both 50 amps. The RV park we rent our spot at is also only 50 amp throughout the entire park, so if you are a 30 amp you have to buy a converter-type device (they fail to tell people that I can’t tell you how many times. Or if they do they might not inform you assuming you would know that you have to have this little device to convert the 50 amp into a 30 amp camper. Excuse my terminology I’m not an electrician. Anyhow, I cannot tell you how many issues we have had with the electricity and our current setup! Our motorhome electric cord and plug melted. Then with the travel trailer we have now we have had a few issues too. (But that is for another blog post)
>> 50 Amp to 30 Amp RV Adapter Cord
Locking Power Cord:
We prefer a locking, screw-on power cord so that it has a good connection to the RV. They make these in 25, 50, and 100 ft. Sometimes 25 feet can be too short depending on where the electric plug is on your RV in relation to the electric pole or plug at the RV Park. So I like to have at least a 50-foot electric cord for my RV even if it is sitting stationary. You never know when we might decide to leave. And, since we have had 6 RVs a lot of our RV accessories have traveled with us from RV to RV. Also, If I purchase an upgraded electric cord I usually keep the old one for emergencies.
>> Locking 50 amp RV Electric Cord (they also make a 30 amp)
Power Surge Protector:
After a few electric issues at the RV Park, we upgraded our surge protector to a Power WatchDog (Surge Protector). It is Bluetooth enabled and tells us how many amps we are using on each leg of our 50 amps. Making it easy to see which devices pull how much electricity. It also keeps an eye out for the RV Park power and if there is a drop in voltage of what’s being supplied to the RV then it shuts off the power so the RV and our appliances don’t get damaged. It restarts after getting supplied with the correct amount of electricity. They make other versions without the emergency shut-off and some without the digital monitoring. We used to have a smaller, simpler, cheaper less fancy surge protector (and we still do in the RV van that we travel in) since our power watchdog is very big and also heavy. I actually have to secure it to the electric pole with zip ties and bungee cords! But after all the issues we have had at the RV park we live at we spend the extra money for a top-of-the-line RV surge protector. They also make one that you can hard wire into the electric pole but I’d think this was more if you were on your own land or private property not in an RV park living stationary.

>> Lock for Surge Protector
Battery Backup
Believe it or not, when you are living stationary most RVers DO NOT have batteries on the RV. In fact, if the RV Park loses power so do all the RVs! But we have batteries! When we bought our RV travel trailer the seller didn’t even know you needed a battery! They kept it stationary plugged up on a lake as well! It was delivered from the factory there and then we bought it from them and moved it to our location! But as far as batteries go there are all kinds of set-ups you can use, but the battery is mainly to keep the fridge on so our food does not spoil. And you’re able to turn the lights on but you cannot use the outlets, or turn on the AC, etc… It is only for temporary power. It will only last typically a few hours to a day depending on what we run off of it. We also have a box it goes in that is for testing the voltage on it (when unplugged) from the electricity at the RV Park. The battery is also useful for the tongue jack and all the stabilizers in the RV. One other thing that comes to mind we keep not only in the RV but one in all of our cars is a battery jump box. This is great for emergencies!
>> Battery Backup
External Generator:
If all else fails and we need power without electric shore power or batteries we can then kick on our generator! FYI this came from our RV Van which did not originally have a generator in it from the factory. But, after we installed one we just kept this generator for the Stationary RV set-up in case of an emergency!
>> RV Generator
Electric Clamp Multimeter
Unfortunately, we now know a lot about electricity especially when it comes to RVs! So much so that we have bought not 1 but 2 Electric Clamp Multimeters as they often come in handy. I have to YouTube how to use them every time as a reminder of how not to shock myself or get electrocuted so I highly advise understanding what you are doing before doing anything with electricity. However, this device is nice to have around unless you have an electrician on speed dial. Sometimes you’re stuck in the RV and cannot call anyone for help!
RV Propane Must Haves
Currently in our travel trailer, we ONLY turn on and use the propane in our travel trailer during the winter for heat! That is for when it is very cold, especially below freezing. But, I would like to mention that we live in the south so although it does get below freezing it’s not usually more than an overnight or short period. The propane in our RV can also be used for heating the hot water (which we run off of electricity) or we could cook inside on the stove or oven. There is an outdoor grill attachment that can also be run off the same propane tanks as the rest of the RV — we have never used the RV stove, oven, or grill! However, the prior original owner we know did! So as far as our LP propane goes we have two tanks and we take them to exchange them at the gas station or have them refilled at a local Ace hardware store.
Propane Tank (monitors):
But, we have had Stick on a BlueTooth device that you can monitor on your phone. But they never sat flat we always had issues re-leveling them if we had to refill or exchange them. And the monitors had to go in the center on the bottom of the tanks, etc… Plus we had to remember to take the monitors off if we exchanged them. They became a bit of a hassle but I did like them originally and they can work depending on your type of RV set-up and lifestyle needs. It was also nice to get an exact reading of your RV’s propane level so you knew when to replace the tanks. Waiting until you need them is never a good idea. We have 4 tanks, so we keep two on the RV and two ready to replace those with. We also use propane for our outdoor solo stove pizza oven and grill.
We decided to replace the Bluetooth LP Propane Tank monitors for our RV with a manual dual tank propane monitor or reader should I say? It’s very basic and it just tells us if the level is high vs low not an exact reading.
>> Propane LP Propane Tank Level monitor with Bluetooth app
>> Manual Dual-Headed Propane Tank Monitor
Propane Extender:
One problem we ran into in our motorhome while living stationary was that the tank we not removable and there was no local propane service provider that would come out and refill the RV where it was at stationary. So we would either have had to un-hook the RV, drive, and leave the RV park to go get propane every time we needed it. Or what we did was install a propane extender which was a 3-way device that allowed us to hook-up an external propane tank and run off of it. The same type of propane tanks we run our travel trailer on now. Another option was that you could pay the local gas company to come out and install a large propane tank outside your RV. But they were LARGE and to me SCARY to have plus we only have so much space at the RV park between our neighbors. And, they only had so many tanks available per size, etc.. it sounded too permanent and costly for me!
>> Propane Extender Kit
Propane Leak Detector:
Deliver it or not we had to buy a propane leak detector and learn how to use it after we turned on our Propane for the first time. We came home one day and the RV carbon monoxide detector was going off, the cat was hiding under the sofa and the entire RV smelled like gas. It took several hours to air it all out. Keep in mind it was cold outside as we only turn the propane on when we need to heat the RV. And, we always turn it off if we are leaving for more than a few hours now. But, we did find a leak outside the RV in the propane line which we repaired DIY style.
>> Gas LP Propane Leak Detector (Portable Hand Held)
Wifi Smoke Detector / Carbon Monoxide Monitor:
We have a Wireless Wifi Enabled Smoke Detector and Carbon Monoxide Monitor that runs off of batteries and the internet. This is for the animals so we can keep check in case we are not in the RV. Obviously, if the internet goes down this does not work, but if the internet is offline we get sent a notification to our phone (since our cameras are also hooked up to it) and that let’s us know to check something out. We are never too far from our animals (aka the RV) when we leave them there. We stay locally or they go with us either in the RV Van on a road trip or back to the condo in the city when we are not RVing.

Other RV Must-Have Essentials
RV Slide Out Supports
We wanted to stabilize the RV more and also give the slide-outs support since we keep them out all the time. So we purchased slide-out holders to help keep the RV a little less wobbly. These help from causing the slide-outs to sag as well.
RV Wheel Covers, Chauks, Stabilizers and Levels
This can all change depending on your RV, but for our current stationary Travel Traier set-up we have a few items for the wheels. One is our Tire levels and wheel chock combo. We bought two sets but only use them on one side of the RV as they help level the RV and keep it from rolling back into the lake! We also have RV wheel covers we keep on the tires to protect against the weather and elements. We also added RV Wheel Stabilizers to help keep the RV from moving around as much, it’s also great for security since it would be a process for someone to remove these.
Stationary RV Outdoor Items We Use & Love
Outdoor Carpets / Mats
We have several different types of outdoor carpets and mats. We have the typical roll-up outdoor mat every RVer has. Plus, we have a few green mats that look more like grass lining our walking outdoor hangout space. If we can’t find them in green we buy them in black or grey. Also, we have a green grass-like mat that we staple and nail down to the dock. YES, we do have to replace these over time as they get to look worn, brown, or even moldy!
>> Mats for RV Walkway
Outdoor Storage Bench
I love this outdoor bench and storage set-up since it saves space and is multifunctional making it also RV-friendly. Plus, it can be taken down for transport! We have a few of these to store our outdoor necessities in and keep the RV spot looking clean!
>> Outdoor Bench and Storage Chest
Solar Powered Lights
We have lots of Solar Powered Lights outside and have had lots of different kinds over the past 5 years since living in the same spot as our stationary RV set-up has changed over time little by little. We keep solar-powered lights to line our walkways. We also have them along our fence line to light up the yard at night and we have solar-powered tiki torches lining the lakeside. Our dock also has a set of solar-powered string lights. Another set of solar-powered lights I keep outside the RV are more for safety which come on at night if someone (or something) passes by them. You can stick them on the RV but I just have them laying all around the outside since I didn’t want to stick anything on the RV itself.

>> Solar Powered Landscape Lights on the fence line
>> Solar Powered String Lights for dock
>> Solar Powered Lights for placing on or around the RV
Pop-Up Fire Pit
Along with or before we had our Solo Stove we bought a pop-up portable fire pit and grill. We mainly use it for making fires and roasting smores, but we have cooked on it several times before. And it is great for its compact space-saving abilities making it RV-friendly! We also have a fire poker with a blow hole that comes in a collapsible version. As far as wood goes we buy local firewood, but have fire starters like Instafire and some of those fire logs that burn for hours.
>> Pop-Up Fire Pit (with all the accessories)
>> InstaFire
Solo Stove
We have a solo stove pizza oven that we cook on outside and if you only knew… I think we have EVERY gadget they make for it and it is NOT space-saving aka RV Friendly! But, if you’re dragging any other grill around or like us staying stationary in your RV then having the Solo Stove is a nice addition that doubles as a grill not just a pizza oven IF YOU HAVE ALL THE EXTRA ATTACHMENTS! lol
>> Solo Stove Attachments!
Portable Dog Fence
First I’d like to mention although our fence is portable, it’s not something I would carry around and put up from RV park to RV Park. We have gradually expanded our fence and had to do repairs over the years. The fence comes in a box and you buy so many panels of it. It’s easy to put up but we reinforced it with zip ties and yard stakes we painted black. This helps the fence stay up when the dogs jump on it or if some of our neighbors or their guests decide to randomly walk over our fence and through our backyard. And let’s not forget the other neighbors who decide to show up with 50 people at a time along with their sound system and prop all their chairs along our fence and use our yard decor as drink holders! Again why we are stationary RVing but not permanent. Thankfully most of these people eventually LEAVE! And we did buy a gate or door should I say other than the one that came with the fence.
Umbrella With Solar Powered Lights
We have a picnic table that came with our RV lot and have replaced the umbrella a few times after the storms got to it. But, this umbrella is a must if we want to go outside and cook. It’s also nice that it is adjustable, and has solar-powered lights built in. We used a metal stake like the ones we use to secure our solar powered lantern lights to hold it down otherwise it teads to blow around or away when the winds pick up. The Umbrella and pole are portable, in case we decide to leave the RV Park!
>> Umbrella With Solar Powered Lights
Nomad Grill
YES, we have another Grill! So we’ve gone through 3 maybe 4 or 5 grills at this point. FYI we don’t cook or grill, so it’s an every once in a while thing for us to actually use the grills. I assume my boyfriend thinks if we buy enough of them, we will use one eventually! Either way, what I love about our Nomad Grill is that it’s portable, you can use it on most surfaces (like the picnic table) then once it’s cool we can take it with us. But, what we have NOT mastered is how to use this grill! It takes time to heat the coals, and we purchased a cone-type device to pre-heat the coals which is not easily portable although I think they make one you can buy.
>> NomadGrills.com
Solar Powered Security Cameras
We have solar-powered security cameras mounted around our RV. They each have a very intricate set-up. Meaning they don’t come as a whole thing. We bought the camera, then the mount and security chains in case they fall to catch them. We have to recheck them or resecure them after strong rain and winds. And then of course the solar panels are another add-on! But if we didn’t have them this way we would have to take the cameras down and recharge them or plug them into electricity and run wires along the top of the RV. So we have outdoor cameras that are solar powered but inside the RV we plug them into electricity and have a monitor to see them all. We get phone notifications as well and there’s an app to watch what is always going on if we are not there. We can always see the fur babies and make sure they are okay or see what they are doing! It also is a great way to see if we have a package or if the garage is still standing outside!

“Portable” Garage
Our outdoor garage looks cool and like a great idea, but it is the ONLY item that causes my RV life more stress than the LOUD A$$ neighbors. I cannot tell you how many times we have replaced this garage (in fact we have a backup one for all the panels). We have had two different sizes of these garages and so many scary moments. I hate the sound of the garage whipping around in the wind, it freaks me out. Or if it is raining really hard. We have had one garage fall in and another fly away (and into the neighbor’s RV) 🤦♀️
We have now reinforced the garage with 8-10 strap-downs and some serious screw-in tie-downs. So it doesn’t have as many problems as it once had. But we mainly have the garage for the boat that we use in the summer. We did have an inflatable hot-tub inside until we had a power issue at the RV Park and it fried our hot tub. We sold that one and replaced it with a new one. But, we haven’t gotten it out yet as it can double as a cool pool in the summertime when you don’t want to get in the lake. Again the power at the RV Park concerns me so we haven’t plugged it up (the new one).
Collapsible Ladder
We have a space-saving ladder that expands when needed. It has been a lifesaver and we got it when we had the motorhome as there was no ladder included with it! The travel trailer has a ladder on the back if we need to get on the roof, but the expandable ladder is great for washing the RV or reaching the sides, and also repairing the portable garage!
Inflatable Hot Tub
YES we have a blow-up hot tub we keep at the RV Park! It’s a Portable Pop-Up Hot Tub! Keep in mind this would be one of those things “If your RV Park Allows it” kind of things. I’ve also seen similar items for use inside the RV too! Like a mini one-person inflatable bathtub!
>> Intext Inflatable 4 Person Hot-Tub (they make a 6 person too)
Reflective Window Coverings & Vent Covers
The first thing I do in every new RV which lowers the temperature by at least 10-20 degrees almost immediately is put reflective insulation in all of my RV windows as well as purchase RV vent covers for inside the RV. This is a quick fix for helping maintain the temperature in the RV and not require the AC or Heat to kick on continuously. I usually buy a huge roll of Reflectix double-sided insulation and cut it to fit in all of my RV windows.
>> Reflective Window Insulation for RV Temperature Control
However recently I found a company that custom cuts these for your RV windows called Blackout EZ. We did buy these precuts eventually, along with their blackout shades but all of the shades did not stay. Let’s just say their measuring process wasn’t entirely seamless. We spent several hours doing it and they still came back incorrectly cut. I’m sure they would have fixed it, but we have been too tired and or busy to feel like dealing with it. I just covered all the windows up with curtains that had fallen/didn’t stick! But for the reflective window coverings, I think they have all the measurements so you don’t have to do all that. Either way, something to check out!

Tempstick (Wifi Enabled)
Since we RV with animals we like to always monitor the temperature in the RV. We bought a battery-operated Temperature Monitoring Device that connects to our Wifi and allows us to see the temperature any time of day or night. Plus if the internet goes offline since the TempStick is battery operated it still keeps readings of the temperature in the RV so we can see when the Internet does come back on what it was reading. This is also great for when we are away from the RV and it’s really hot or below-freezing outside. We can keep a check of what all of our items are staying temperature-wise inside the RV.
>> Temp Stick Remote WiFi Temperature & Humidity Sensor
Wifi Smart Outlet Plugs
We originally bought our wireless-enabled outlets to be able to plug in a heat lamp for our boat during the winter months. We could turn it on and off if we were not there. It also has the ability to set a timer instead. All are controlled by an app on your mobile phone. But it works great for turning other things in the RV on when you’re not there like fans and lights, anything you can plug into an outlet! That doesn’t require you to also hit a power button I’d say.
RV Internet
Being entrepreneurs and digital nomads we work from the RV, even when we are stationary, on the lake in the Travel Trailer! We don’t come to party, we come to relax, and work all while we still get paid! We run our online businesses from the road. Kind of like how I’m writing you this blog post! So we have to have one thing and it has to be unlimited which is the Internet! I cannot tell you how many things we have tried over the last decade RVing! I did talk about How I Get Internet in My RV (On the Road & Stationary) in great length although my strategies have changed depending on the place, location, and a few other things…
Keep in mind where we keep our RV Stationary is located in a small town, and has seasonal peaks of popularity due to the lake only being full a few months out of the year in the summertime! So access to AMAZING internet has come a long way over the past 5 years that we have lived (here) in the same spot stationary.
RV Park WiFi:
The Internet offered at the RV Park is unreliable and only works well in the office. Plus, it’s not secure (though you can use a VPN). Once it took me 4 hours to upload a file! I said no more after that day!
Wired Connection Issues:
We used to have a hardwired line from a local cable/internet provider, but it kept getting “physically cut” in the ground due to the unregulated digging in our RV park. Every time a new neighbor comes in they just start digging new lines with no regard to the one’s already there. So it’s a constant battle over the cable and internet lines as we would have to call our provider back out to re-dig new lines! The same problem occurred with TV cables, the speed was extremely slow with one provider and these also required a long-term contract (aka a year). 🤦♀️
Mobile Hotspot: We have had a few mobile hotspots. Usually, these are limited on the amount of data you can use, so we had to only turn them on when we wanted to use the internet and be careful not to leave them on, especially with a video or high data usage otherwise we’d run out of data! We had one from Cricket and a Verizon HTC Hub worked great until they discontinued the service!
T-Mobile Home Internet:
A solid replacement for our old mobile hotspots and the wired connection issue has been our T-Mobile Home Internet! It’s unlimited, we can connect lots of devices (up to 20 I think) and we have had limited issues with the internet. It does need a reboot at times, and it can be slow if we are accessing it during peak activity or travel times. Meaning a lot of people are coming in and out of the RV Park. Plus we live close to the interstate and next to a factory that has very predictable times for when they come and go with massive amounts of cars in and out. i.e. we know not to worry if it’s 2-3 pm because that is a very active time, and maybe even during the afternoons on the weekends since we live on a lake and there are lots of people out and about or at their RVs that normally would not be. Again T-Mobile operates off of cell phone towers so you have to imagine when everyone is up and moving or streaming TV etc…
Phone Tethering:
We Always have our phones to tether off of as a backup option if all else fails. This is not available for all phones and plans, but we do have it as an option for a few of our cell phones in case we need to get on the Internet. One thing to also mention is we have multiple phones and cell phone carriers so if the T-Mobile Internet is down or their service is slow then we can try our Cricket cell phone service.
