My wife might need internet service for work on occasion, what are some dependable lower cost options ?

Simple answer: a 4G/5G hotspot device with the cheapest "Unlimited" data plan that meets her usage requirements.

Of course, "Unlimited" does not mean unlimited, so one must read the fine print. Still, there are affordable plans out there with high enough usage caps that most anyone can get along fine. We use our AT&T Mobley device (hotspot) as our only internet connection, both at home and on the road. We back it up with "Unlimited" plans on our Verizon smart phones and iPad for places where AT&T coverage is weak.

Eventually, a service like Starlink may be the answer, but not yet.

2) There are a few obnoxious rattles, especially when engine is idling and over some bad bumpy roads.
3) Four of the window locks are broken, called the supplier - not available anymore so I will fabricate some.

Thats the list - for now.

2. With a Foretravel that ain't rite. You should be able to ride down the road in a nice quiet area. Something needs to be adjusted.
3. The best fix is some poker chips. Yes that is correct. There is a thread from several years ago that tells you how to. Creation Window locks

Remember you have an RV that is your new hobby so expect a never ending wish list of upgrades.

I made new locks out of 1/8th x 1 x 2 angle aluminum and used screws with
self locking nuts. I just copied the old ones. They work the same as the old ones
any they won't brake.
