A few weeks ago we modified our Starlink standard antenna and installed it flat on the roof of our four-wheel drive motorhome (MAN TGM 18.320 4×4 with Blissmobil 16ft mobile home), see Starlink – Fixed installation of the standard antenna (part 2). On the first try (using the star mount "Flat Mount Low Profile for Starlink Dishy"), there was relatively quickly...

Cool off in Livigno
After almost exactly two years we are going back to Livigno. The high valley at about 2000 m above sea level on the border between Switzerland and Italy inspired us with its beautiful nature, delicious food, friendly people and low fuel prices.

Tire pressure control system - self-built prototype
If you leave paved roads with your vehicle, you should adjust the tire pressure in many cases. Tire pressure control systems can be used to reduce and increase tire pressure comfortably and quickly, even with large-volume tires. However, the latter can be quite expensive to purchase and install. We have therefore decided to build a simple system ourselves...

Starlink - operation with 12V DC / 24V DC and without Starlink router in the mobile home
See updates to this post. As previously described, we installed the Starlink standard kit antenna permanently on the roof of our motorhome. Now the Starlink router supplied with the antenna can only be operated on 230V AC. Furthermore, we have already installed well-functioning network components in the cabin and do not need an additional router. Inspired…
