The right van setup depends on how you use the van.

A van that moves every few days needs a different setup from one that sits on a permanent site. Here's how we think about each.

Grey nomads on the long lap

You move often and camp anywhere. If your van has flat roof bars, a Starlink Mini on a rack mount means less to set up at each stop, with power set up to suit the van. Tell us how often you're off-grid.

Weekenders and school-holiday trips

Short trips, often to the same few spots. A setup that is quick to switch on and easy to pack down matters more than anything fancy.

On-site vans at a park or the beach

The van stays put, often with mains power on site. The job is a clean mount, a tidy cable run with no new holes and a dish placed clear of trees and neighbouring annexes. Check the park's rules first.

Tradies and site vans

A van or site caravan that needs internet for quotes, plans and calls. We fit it to suit a van that moves between jobs, and keep it simple for the crew to switch on.

Farm stays and vans on rural blocks

A van parked on a farm or a rural block, often a long way from the house Wi-Fi. Starlink on the van can be simpler than linking it to the house. If you'd rather link it, see our wireless links page.

Which setup suits my kind of trip?

Is a rack mount or a Camp Stand better for touring?
It depends on where you camp. If your van has flat roof bars, a Mini on a rack mount suits open sites. A Camp Stand lets you move the dish out of the shade. Tell us how you travel.
Can you fit Starlink to a work van or site caravan?
Yes, the same install applies. Send photos of the van and tell us how often it moves.
My van is on a permanent site. Is that still a caravan install?
Yes. Send photos of the van and the site, and check the park's rules about work on site.
